- Mosa Meat
Participated · Equity · Dec 2025
Mosa Meat develops cultivated (lab-grown) meat products and has demonstrated its underlying technology, according to Invest International. The company is pursuing international market entry and intends to target Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the United States. Current plans include validating those markets, setting up production and supply-chain partnerships, and progressing regulatory approval trajectories. Mosa Meat does not yet have authorization to sell its cultivated products. Its recent €875,000 financing from Invest International is a repayable development contribution aimed at enabling market validation and commercial rollout. The company must still overcome regulatory hurdles, scale production and solve market-introduction challenges before its products can reach supermarket shelves.
- Kynda
Participated · Seed · Feb 2025
Kynda produces alternative proteins—mycoprotein derived from mushroom mycelium—by fermenting agricultural by-products using proprietary technology. Their process converts underutilized biomass into a protein- and fiber-rich mycoprotein within 24–48 hours. The company supplies a meat-like, umami-flavored ingredient for food and pet food manufacturers and offers low-cost, plug-and-play bioreactors and starter cultures for in-house fermentation. In 2024 Kynda began constructing a large-scale facility in Jelmstorf near Hamburg to produce several thousand tons of "Kynda Meat" annually. That new facility is scheduled to open in Q2 2025 as the company scales to meet growing customer demand. Kynda raised €3M in a Seed round to increase production capacity and accelerate commercialisation of its technology.
- Good Catch

Good Catch produces plant-based seafood products created by chef partners and brothers Chad and Derek Sarno and is owned by Gathered Foods. The company closed an oversubscribed Series B funding round with net proceeds totaling over $32 million. Management says the funds will be used to expand distribution across North America, Europe and into Asia. Proceeds will also support the opening of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and new product and food-service channel launches in early 2020. Company leadership and investors described the round as recognition of Good Catch’s strategy and strong consumer reception. Quotes in the coverage emphasize growing consumer demand for plant-based alternatives as a driver for the raise. Good Catch Foods produces plant-based seafood using a special “six-bean blend” of pea, soy, chickpea, lentil, fava, and navy beans to recreate fish-like products such as fish-free tuna, crab-free cakes, and fish-free sliders. The company is based in Newton, Pennsylvania. Its product line targets sustainable alternatives to seafood with a stated mission to preserve the ocean’s natural resources while introducing enjoyable seafood choices. The article says the business aims to benefit both consumers and the environment through these products. Good Catch received $8.7 million in capital funding to advance its sustainability mission. Investors in the round are described as interested in helping save the ocean’s ecosystem.
