Farmless Secures €1M EU Grant to Validate its “Dramatically Efficient” Landless Protein Production
Dutch fermentation startup Farmless has secured a €1 million grant from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Farmless produces functional proteins with a complete amino acid profile for the F&B industry. Its air-based fermentation process uses microorganisms powered by CO2, hydrogen, nitrogen, and renewable energy-produced feedstock rather than sugar to produce protein “dramatically” more efficiently than animal farming. With the funds, the startup will demonstrate and optimize its fermentation method …
Farmless Raises €4.8M to Develop Fermented Proteins for the Most Sustainable Meat, Dairy, and Egg Alternatives
Dutch fermentation startup Farmless announced that it has raised €4.8 million to produce functional proteins for the F&B industry without relying on the climate, exploiting animals, or using the land. The company’s proteins are said to provide a complete amino acid profile, competing with the nutritional value of beef. They suit multiple applications, including meat, dairy, and egg alternatives, said the company in a statement. The seed round was co-led by …
Farmless Raises €1.2m to Produce Carbon-Negative Fermented Proteins With Capability to Eliminate Factory Farming
Netherlands-based Farmless has announced a €1.2 million raise in a pre-seed round to produce carbon-negative, functional ingredients to make alt protein foods. Founded in Amsterdam by Adnan Oner, Farmless says its mission is to “decouple” food production from agricultural land. It is developing a land-efficient fermentation platform to turn CO2, hydrogen, and renewable energy into functional ingredients, starting with proteins. The round was co-led by Revent, Nucleus Capital, and Possible Ventures, …
