Who's coming to #TONICSummit2023? We're excited to be part of the conversation, focusing on the future of food and what the sustainable food chains of tomorrow will look like! 💡

Thrilled to Share Insights at ProVeg Incubator 🌟 There's a special kind of joy in sharing knowledge, especially when it comes to empowering the bright minds shaping our future food systems. I had the pleasure, for the third time, to lead a workshop for ProVeg Incubator, the winter 2023 cohort - focusing on 'Comanufacturing & Supply Chain: Unlocking Success for Startups'. For those not yet familiar, ProVeg Incubator is a force for good in the food tech world. It’s an initiative supporting startups that are reimagining the way we consume food for the betterment of our health, the planet, and the welfare of animals. They nurture these innovators with the tools, connections, and knowledge to flourish in a competitive market. At Cibus Nexum, we align perfectly with this mission. My workshop delved into the nuances of building robust supply chains and agile comanufacturing partnerships – essential ingredients for startup success. It's not just about logistics; it’s about crafting a sustainable framework for upscaling, innovation, and long-term impact. Being part of this transformative journey is an honor. Watching these startups evolve, knowing we’ve played a part in their story, reinforces why we do what we do at Cibus Nexum. Thanks for having me Antje Räuscher and Nicole Rocque!

Today there are multiple startups making dairy proteins without cows. But back in 2014, Perfect Day founders Ryan Pandya and Perumal Gandhi were in a field of one, creating a completely new category in food. So what was Pandya’s vision for the business in the early days, how different is it today, and what’s the exit strategy for Perfect Day’s investors, who have pumped almost $750 million into the #precisionfermentation startup over the past decade? #animalfree #microbialfermentation #foodtech AgFunder #dairy Watch the full interview at AgFunder News here: https://lnkd.in/gUwz5udb

Amazing news from Denmark 🇩🇰 On the mission to bring better food to more people, Kost Capital announced its first close of a €25 million target fund. According to the fund, the way humans have exploited & consumed resources is no longer an option. Climate change & a growing population require drastic change. Kost Capital will invest in pre-seed & seed Startups across Europe, focusing on B2B inputs in the future of food. They already made their first three investments in Estonian palm oil replacement company ÄIO, the French infant formula company Numi & the Danish ingredient company nutrumami. Great opportunity for food tech innovators! Share your PitchSee profile with them! #PitchSee #KostCapital #startupbusiness #venturecapital #foodtech

This spring, we’re selecting the best of all the great ideas enrolling in the idea competition 2024, so that, come April, the stage at Food & Bio Summit 24 will be vibrant with ideas to make our future greener and more sustainable. The competition wouldn’t have been possible without our sponsors, and this week, we put a great big spotlight on our three gold sponsors. Today, focus is directed at Potter Clarkson, who, when asked why they’re sponsoring the competition, gives a clear answer:     "At Potter Clarkson, decades of client experience has taught us exactly how the foodtech market works. We know the reality of the battle new players face once they enter the field.  Innovation is the vital component, and we relish our role in supporting the brilliant people who drive it. Part of this is making sure they their ideas are properly protected in the right way, part of this is making sure they have the right commercial and revenue frameworks.  However, the most important part of our role is to act as consigliere; to be the sounding board and sparring partner they need to maximise the value of all their innovations and maximise the impact these innovations have on the world’s future.” Camilla Kiørboe and Lars Karnøe, partners at Potter Clarkson and senior members of the firm’s dedicated Foodtech team    Later this week, we’re asking gold sponsors Rockstart and BioInnovation Institute, about they’re motivation to sponsor the idea competition.   Read more about the Idea Competition 2024 and apply here before 20 March: https://lnkd.in/dhtUM-KZ   𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬  Later this month, the spotlight will shine on our three silver sponsors: Arla Foods Danish Crown   #startups #food #bioresources #ideacompetition #sustainableinnovation #euinmyregion    Food & Bio Summit 2024 is co-funded by the European Commission and Danmarks Erhvervsfremmebestyrelse

A month into his new position as CEO of Colorado-based startup MycoTechnology, Dr. Mike Leonard caught up with AgFunderNews to talk about his new role. Leonard, who spent four years at Boston-based foodtech company Motif FoodWorks—three as CTO and one as CEO—insisted he was not jumping off a sinking ship. “That’s not how I see it. It was a very tough decision for me to leave after all the blood, sweat, and tears, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for the team at Motif. I’m very proud of what we accomplished, and I think we did a good job of creating options for the business to continue despite all the headwinds. But this opportunity came up at MycoTech and it was very compelling." According to Leonard: “My job is to get MycoTechnology, Inc. to the point where we are self-sustaining, and we are growing profitable revenue on a recurring basis. And we are on the cusp of that. Revenues are growing, so we’re not in a situation like a lot of foodtech startups where profitability is multiple years away." #foodtech #mycelium #mushrooms #fungi #fermentation #precisionfermentation #microbialfermentation #biomassfermentation AgFunder
