We have helped to germinate and grow some of the most iconic start-up companies that are revolutionising the world of food and agriculture today.
Pioneers in deploying venture capital into 'New Protein', we back ambitious teams who are developing transformative solutions for a healthier, safer and more sustainable food and feed system.
Our global food system is experiencing profound changes across its entire value chain. Unsustainable production methods, devastating diseases in livestock and aquaculture, antibiotic resistance, consumer demand for healthier food propositions, and a diabetes epidemic — are all challenging an industry desperately looking for ways to adapt.
This context presents us with unrivalled opportunities for smart investing — investments that address urgent issues today, for a better tomorrow.
