Nutropy is a French food-tech startup that engineers animal-free casein and other dairy proteins using precision fermentation, then formulates them into B2B powdered ingredients branded as “plug-and-play” solutions for traditional dairy manufacturers. Its flagship offering, a “cheeseable milk” base, can be transformed into cheese and other dairy products that match the taste, texture and nutrition of conventional counterparts while lowering environmental impact. Led by co-founders Nathalie Rolland (CEO) and Dr. Maya Bendifallah (CSO), the company sells to food producers rather than end consumers. With fresh capital in hand, Nutropy plans to scale industrial production of casein, broaden its portfolio of dairy applications, and pursue commercial opportunities across North America, Asia and Europe. The firm has secured public support from French and European programs, including Bpifrance, to complement private investment. Financially, the company closed a €2 million pre-seed round in 2022 and has now added €7 million in new funding, bringing total known equity raised to €9 million.
