Soylent has confirmed its Series A funding round, which Re/code initially reported last week. The Los Angeles-based maker of a nutritional meal-replacement formula has raised $20 million in Series A funding from Andreessen Horowitz and previous investor Lerer Ventures; Index Ventures and individual investors also contributed to the round.
