As one of the first VCs in the European food industry, we invest in impact driven start-ups such as Oatly!, Air Up, Peas of Heaven and GoodBytz.    Oyster Bay Funds focuses on start-ups along the food value chain from field to consumer goods to recycling and waste.     The food industry is responsible for around a third of greenhouse gases - while also being the first sector to feel the effects of climate change. Harvests are deteriorating, soils are depleting and supply chains are breaking down.     To change that we invest in Seed and Series A rounds. If you want to be part of that change – no matter if you are an investor or a startup founder – feel free to contact us.   Oyster Bay Funds focuses on start-ups along the food value chain from field to consumer goods to recycling and waste.
