A world without animal exploitation is within reach
Moving away from animal products isn’t just better for animals —
it’s essential for our health and for the planet.
We invest in the entrepreneurs building that future.
🌱 Our approach
We are not a traditional investment fund.
We invest our own capital, with a long-term horizon, backing early-stage companies aligned with a clear mission:
Building better alternatives to animal products.
Returns matter — but as a means to reinvest and accelerate change, not as an end in itself.
We typically invest €50k to €300k, usually alongside lead investors.
🚀 Selected investments
Companies we’ve backed:
• La Vie — bold plant-based alternatives to pork
• Jay&Joy — artisanal plant-based cheeses
• Yumgo — plant-based egg solutions for professionals
• Land&Monkeys — plant-based bakery franchise
• Baouw — plant-based nutrition for endurance sports
• Bakery Bakery — plant-based bakery chain in Switzerland
Most are directly driven by animal welfare outcomes.
Some contribute through health, performance, or sustainability.
