We developed proprietary protein texturing technology that enables us to produce plant-based whole cuts. Our vision is to produce a variety of meat products and match and eventually outcompete animal-derived counterparts by taste, price, and convenience. We want to accelerate the transition of the meat industry into a more sustainable future - by 2030 we want to cut meat consumption in half.

We’re creating a win-win situation for food producers, consumers and the environment, using innovative technology to transform whole plants, like cereals & legumes, into deliciously sustainable ingredients. Sourcing from abundance, we’re making alternatives that leave a better taste in your mouth. No limits on flavour or innovation, just products that put people, planet and your palate first. Big Chocolate’s number one on our list. With more than 1 million child laborers estimated to work in the Ivory Coast & Ghana alone, and more carbon emissions pound-for-pound than cheese, lamb or chicken, the industry is ripe for change.

All About The Cooks is driven by the vision of a future where it is easy to eat real food made by real people, wherever you are. We all love home-cooked food but it’s not always easy to make that happen. So we created All About The Cooks, an online marketplace to buy and sell home-cooked food, locally. Weve achieved proof of concept with over 850 orders in Bristol. Now we are raising investment on Crowdcube, so we can start to scale to 6 more Cities and recruit 250 cooks in the next year. To find out more go to Crowdcube.com or go to our website to find out how you can join us on our mission to revolutionise the way we eat at home.

Over a quarter of global emissions comes from food, driven largely by animal agriculture. With that in mind, Better Bite Ventures invests in alternative protein startups in Asia Pacific, the region with largest emissions and highest impact potential. We back founders that are creating meat, dairy, egg and seafood alternatives that are better for people, animals and the planet. We invest in these climate-friendly food technologies: - Plant-based - Cultivated - Biomass fermentation - Precision fermentation - Molecular farming We focus primarily on founding, pre-seed and seed stages. Better Bite Ventures was created by Michal Klar and Simon Newstead, two Asia Pacific based operators turned impact investors. They have combined 20 years living plant-based and sector expertise including running the Future Food Now newsletter and Vegan Startup podcast, and a track record of investing and venture building in food and tech. Our investment process is simple and terms are transparent and founder-friendly. If you are a founder and would like to chat, please get in touch!
