Founded in 2020 by Alberto Alfonso, Lorenzo Tecchio and Leonardo Colturato, Real Bowl applies a patented production method to create preservative-free dog meals that remain shelf-stable at room temperature. The Italian startup sources fresh, human-grade ingredients to offer the nutritional benefits of a fresh meal with the convenience of long storage. Its positioning taps into the growing demand for premium, sustainable pet nutrition. Real Bowl has participated in Terra Next, the bio-economy acceleration program launched by CDP Venture Capital, Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center and Cariplo Factory. Including the most recent seed financing, the company has attracted €3.7 million in total funding, which encompasses a €500 k convertible loan from Intesa Sanpaolo granted in 2024. The new capital will fund production scale-up and support a planned expansion into European markets. Revenue and user metrics have not been disclosed, but the company aims to leverage its patented technology to capture a share of the premium pet food segment.
