Investment into foodtech and climatetech is only going in one direction. In 2021, VCs pumped USD 51.7 billion into agrifood start-ups around the world \u2014 an 85% increase on 2020 funding, according to Agfunder<\/a>. In Europe, foodtech start-ups attracted USD 9.5 billion in 2021, a threefold increase on the previous year. From its offices in Lausanne (canton of Vaud), the the FoodHack<\/a> team has well positioned itself at the heart of early-stage foodtech innovation.<\/p>\n

Beginning with meetups for foodtech founders and investors, and then a weekly newsletter rounding up foodtech news, the FoodHack team has built up a strong and global network in this industry. The next phase from FoodHack is to develop and publicly launch its HackVentures investment platform to structure deals into foodtech startups.<\/p>\n

HackVentures<\/a>\u00a0will enable the next generation of angels (customers and communities) to invest small tickets starting from USD 1,000 to USD 100,000 across many start-ups, back moonshot technologies and build a diversified portfolio along the way.<\/p>\n

Upon being approached by investors to access deal flows and start-ups seeking investments, the FoodHack co-founders identified a gap that would lead to the launch of a newsletter featuring the best deal flows from their network. They curated their decks and information and offered to connect the investors to the featured start-ups. Two years following the launch of the HackVentures newsletter, the platform has been on a fast-paced growth trajectory.<\/p>\n

Counting 323 early users, the beta version of HackVentures has tracked 1,264 pitch deck views, fulfilled over 600 introductions between investors and start-ups and connected nine start-ups to lead investors.<\/p>\n

The platform has enabled investment in 15 companies with a group of 100+ angels. Moving forward, the platform has the ambition to move from five investments per month to 50 per month in the next two years.<\/p>\n

A wide range of global investors<\/h4>\n

Besides the co-founders, HackVentures attracted 66 investors from 13 countries and various sectors. Among them are fund managers behind some of the most active Food\/Climate funds such as FoodLabs, Siddhi Capital, EQT Ventures, ACME, Vala Capital, Revent and Square One Foods.<\/p>\n

Founders at some of the leading foodtech start-ups such as Yamo, Planetary, Farmy, FoodDetective among others, and operators working in the industry as full-time Angels or Corporate\/SME operators including Givaudan, Mondelez, General Mills and more also contributed to the round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
