He’s an Oscar-winning actor. He’s an environmental activist. And now, Leonardo DiCaprio is an investor in Boulder food company LoveTheWild.
LoveTheWild last month announced the close of a $3 million Series A round, led by Dutch investment firm Aqua-Spark. On Wednesday, the company revealed that DiCaprio was among the remaining investors.

DiCaprio, who will also join the company’s advisory board, was not available for comment.
