We're very proud of our latest investment in OlsAro, on the important mission of developing climate resilient wheat. Wheat is one of the world's corner stones for food security, but the crop is already severely impacted by climate change, including high-salinity soils. OlsAro's technology builds on over a decade of research and a proprietary wheat collection with very high genetic diversity, serving as the foundation for identification of traits tailored to withstand harsher climatic conditions, increase nitrogen efficiency, and potentially improve the nutritional qualities of the wheat.
Pleased to announce the closing of OlsAros €2.5 million seed round!💥 We are excited to welcome the leads Future Food Fund and PINC, the venture arm of Paulig Group, and also AgFunder, FLORA Ventures, Mudcake on the journey! We are super excited to have this strong group of investors onboard, where we highly value thieir knowledge and network in the agrifood sector to boost us on the journey ahead! 🚀 “The investment will enable us to expand our geographical reach, refine our proprietary tech platform and continue our journey towards discovery of crops that can thrive in challenging climate conditions, boosting food security and resilience in the global food system,” says OlsAro CEO Elén Faxö. 🌏 🌾 Link to press kit in comments below 👇 #seedround #fundraising #agrifood #climateadaption #wheat

If the world's 1 billion cows were a country, they would be the third biggest GHG emitter after China and the US. That's nothing short of insane. We're super proud to have found Martin and Tommi at Agteria Biotech who are on the quest to remove 1% of global GHG emissions, and excited to join them in their pre-seed alongside Norrsken Launcher. https://lnkd.in/d3W2wEAs

So proud of Marissa Cuevas Flores and the whole microTERRA team!
https://lnkd.in/e2aHr9wB 🚨 New Product Launch Alert! 🚨 It's an understatement to say that it has been a long and difficult journey to get to this moment. That’s why we are so excited about reaching this milestone and introducing Flora - The Taste & Feel Ingredient. Flora is a natural ingredient that potentiates sweetness perception to enable sugar reduction in food and beverages without compromising functional properties like taste and texture. In other words, Flora helps improve people’s health by reducing the sugar content in their food while maintaining the same consumer experience. It can be incorporated into ice cream, sugar-sweetened beverages, fruit preparations, plant-based foods, and other many other products. Because we extract Flora from Lemna, a tiny aquatic plant that cleans water as it grows, producing 1kg of Flora: 💧 avoids the contamination of 1,000 bathtubs of water 🛀 (or 165m3 of water) 🏭 removes more CO2 than 55 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered vehicle 🚘 (or 21 kg of CO2eq) Flora is the result of a lot of hard work, R&D, trial and error, late nights, amazing partners, and an incredible team. However, Flora is only the first of many ingredients to come, as microTERRA is an ingredient platform that develops sustainable specialty ingredients. We are creating clean functional ingredients, for a cleaner future. Learn more about Flora here: https://lnkd.in/eDUaX3qy

Such an important step towards more climate and animal friendly pet food! 🌎 Way to go team Bond Pet Foods!
BREAKING: Excited to share two big milestones in Bond Pet Foods' work with partner Hill's Pet Nutrition Bond and Hill’s began collaborating on an R&D program in 2021, to develop an animal protein produced through precision fermentation for their product portfolio. Now, today, we’re manufacturing tons of material for their formulary needs, as well as the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine review. With this progress Hill’s has committed to a second Joint Development initiative, aimed at creating an additional animal protein to anchor future recipes. One couldn’t ask for a better partner. We’re thrilled to advance our work with their A+ team, in service of bringing more sustainable protein to both HPN and the pet food industry at large. https://bit.ly/bond_hills

We are proud and happy to work with the Cbamboo team on their journey to build the leading software platform to help companies manage carbon border taxes across some of the world's most emissions heavy supply chains, including fertilizers. Gabriel Rozenberg, Daniel Sharp and the rest of the team are truly amazing and we're glad to invest alongside great investors, including our friends at Pale blue dot.
Today Cbamboo announces its £1m pre-seed funding round led by Pale blue dot and supported by Mudcake (prev. Trellis Road), PUSH, Prequel Ventures and angel investors. Today’s global firms know they must tackle carbon emissions in their supply chain. But they struggle to respond to the EU’s flagship climate policy, #CBAM. The new rules are confusing and demanding — the software to master CBAM simply doesn’t exist. We’ve built Cbamboo to meet that need. Our platform puts the needs of the CBAM user first. Our compliance tools enable accurate and speedy filing of CBAM reports. In the coming months, Cbamboo will become a one-stop CBAM solution for the global supply chain, guiding manufacturers and distributors through the new rules and helping them track and securely share mandatory data with their customers. We are building a climate business for the long term, and we are just getting started. * * * * * We are enormously grateful to our new investors for backing us on this journey. With our pre-seed funding, we can invest in Cbamboo to create the products that our customers deeply need. We would like to thank the following wonderful individuals for everything they have done and continue to do… At Pale blue dot, very special thanks to Heidi Lindvall, our partner, mentor and friend. Huge appreciation to Hampus Jakobsson and Joel Larsson together with the whole team. At Mudcake, applause to Anna Ottosson and Erik Byrenius. At PUSH, we are grateful to Christopher Raithle and Laurenz Simbruner. At Prequel Ventures we owe a massive debt to Markus Börner and Mathias Bosse. We’re thrilled to be joined on the journey by some incredible angel investors. They include: Albert Payaró-Llisterri, Amos Wittenberg, Andrej Ondracka, Anthony Vardy and Dr. Roger Gothmann. Kudos to all our angels for your support. We couldn’t have built Cbamboo without Carbon13, the venture builder for the climate emergency. Thank you to Sarah Dees and 👩🔬 Stephanie Alys for your wise guidance, to Paul Bourne, Jordan Torch and Mai Silk for your hands-on help, to Michael Langguth, Nicky Dee, Jonathan C. and the wider team for your advice and partnership, and to Chris Coleridge for your enthusiasm and vision. Startups incur many debts and some are very large. So we humbly thank Adnan Murudi, Christian Stiebner, Christophe Lagrange, Emma Rozenberg, Gaby Deschamps, Nicholas Bennett, Paul Morgenthaler, Phillip Marks, Ph.D. and Skander Garroum.
