Funding Announcement! 🎉🇨🇭 We are excited to announce PeakBridge’s continued support in BE WTR's CHF 39 million Series C funding round. 🤝 As BE WTR’s first investor back in 2020, we’ve witnessed incredible milestones, including the official launch of their fully automated and circular BiG bottling plant in Paris, B-Corp certification, becoming the water sponsor for Bocuse d'Or, partnering with Accor, and leading the charge in sustainable water solutions.💼 This new investment will help BE WTR scale their circular bottling operations across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia. 🌎 BE WTR's innovative circular bottling system is revolutionizing the industry—bottles are washed, refilled, and reused up to 200 times, drastically reducing waste and emissions. Delivered and collected by electric vehicles, this process ensures a minimal environmental footprint while promoting responsible water consumption. No plastic bottles, just beautifully crafted glass that’s cleaned, filled, and sealed for premium water delivery. ♻️ “Our investments focus on industries where sustainability, innovation, and impact meet. We are proud to renew our commitment to BE WTR, a company disrupting the bottled water industry and democratizing water consumption with a proven business model. By eliminating the need for bottled water and offering sustainable alternatives, BE WTR is setting new global benchmarks for environmental change. Their vision to protect the planet aligns perfectly with ours, and we are excited to support their continued success in transforming a category that needed disruption,” said Erich Sieber, Managing Partner at PeakBridge. At PeakBridge, our mission is to invest in companies that drive meaningful change.

Proud moment as our Senior Analyst, Eva Anna Everloo, took part in the panel on “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒: 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓” at NutrEvent in France. 🇫🇷🎤 This conversation offered a clear lens on the forces shaping the future of food and nutrition. Key insights included: 🍽️ Consumer Priorities: In the world of alt proteins, taste still takes the lead. Sustainability is important but without great taste, it’s a tough sell. In contrast, consumer motivations for supplements are driven by health - clinical efficacy and delivery are non-negotiable. 🌱 GLP-1's Game-Changing Role: GLP-1 solutions are driving a shift towards nutrient-dense, smaller portions. Companies in the food system are responding fast, and for good reason. In the B2B space, we’re seeing innovative fibers emerge as natural alternatives. 📊 Personalization & Precision Nutrition: With personalized nutrition evolving, startups are capitalizing on precision health, but breaking down cost barriers and aligning with healthcare pathways is the key to unlocking wider access. As regulatory frameworks and scientific innovations evolve, the focus will continue shifting toward sustainable, health-driven solutions. Investors should keep a close eye on breakthroughs in functional foods and nutrition technologies that address global health challenges. 💡 At PeakBridge, we are focused on driving investments that align with these pivotal shifts—bridging the gap between science, consumer trends, and sustainability. 🙌 Thanks to the panel for such an engaging discussion Ariane Voyatzakis, Association Nationale des Industries Alimentaires (ANIA) Ivan Farneti Five Seasons Ventures Mark Durno Rockstart Myriam Rouis, CFA European Investment Bank (EIB) #investments #sustainability #foodtech

At PeakBridge, we are proud to support the growth of our team and portfolio companies alike. 🤝 Today, we extend a heartfelt thank you to William Parnis England, our Principal and head of numbers from day one, when he joined us as the 4th person on the team way back in 2020. William has been pivotal in shaping our financial strategy, carefully guiding every decision to ensure we consistently made the smartest and most informed deals. As he transitions to InsideTracker as their VP Strategic Finance, we know he’ll bring the same excellence to one of our key portfolio companies. We’ll miss his smile and expertise but are excited for his next chapter! 📊 We are also thrilled to welcome Matthias de Kock, CFA as our new Senior Associate. Working out of our Dutch office, Matthias brings a wealth of experience in venture investing, having studied and worked across Australia, China, and New York, and most recently contributing to the EIT Food investment team. We look forward to the fresh perspectives and impact he’ll bring to PeakBridge. 🌍 🚀 #newbeginnings #leadership #foodtech
