GNT Ventures seeks startups to shape food colour innovations
Plant-based food colour supplier EXBERRY has launched an independent investment firm, GNT Ventures. The firm is seeking cooperations with startups to shape tomorrow’s plant-based food colouring solutions, with a focus on four key areas: raw materials and fermentation; processing; food ingredients; and upcycling.
Finn Rieken, Managing Director of GNT Ventures, said: “We’re looking to build mutually beneficial relationships with startups that dare to dream big and have the drive to shape tomorrow’s planet. We can provide financial, technical, commercial and regulatory support, using our expertise to not only help bring bold new visions to life but successfully market them worldwide.”
The company will be providing the startups with the tools they need to bring ideas to life. It can provide financial support, whether by leading the financing as a sole investor or helping to share the load as co-leads.
GNT Ventures also has a food-grade pilot plant to test and optimise processes. It can provide research and development know-how as well as processing expertise to help new businesses develop their ideas.
The company recently partnered with Plume Biotechnology to create new plant-based EXBERRY colour solutions using fermentation technologies. It is aiming to step up its investment activity by seeking collaborations with startups worldwide.
