Together with our valued co-investors Burda Principal Investments, ZINTINUS, Bayern Kapital, Baywa, World Fund, Cherry Ventures, Omnes, AgriFoodTech Venture Alliance we invested in Planet A's €30m Series B round! 🚀 🌍 Founded in 2021 by Dr. Sara Marquart and Dr. Maximilian Marquart, Planet A Foods is redefining the future of chocolate with ChoViva, the leading cocoa-free chocolate alternative which offers an innovative, scalable solution through a proprietary fermentation process using locally sourced sunflower seeds. This innovative process dramatically reduces carbon emissions—up to 80% less than chocolate production—while delivering the same indulgent taste and texture that consumers love. ChoViva is already featured in over 20 products and trusted by major partners like Deutsche Bahn, Lindt & Sprüngli, Lufthansa, and REWE Group - a huge step towards mass market commercialization within a very short period of time.

Last week the Tengelmann Ventures Team had the pleasure to participate at the groundbreaking event in Fort Collins, Colorado, to build a state-of-the-art laser facility named “ATLAS”, hosted by Marvel Fusion and Colorado State University. The ATLAS facility will play a pivotal role in advancing laser inertial confinement fusion (ICF) technology, bringing us closer to clean energy solutions that have the potential to reshape the global energy landscape. This marks a major milestone for our new portfolio company Marvel Fusion and demonstrates the strong collaboration between public and private partnerships. A huge thank you to Marvel Fusion for sharing this inspiring event with us. We are proud to be a part of this exciting journey.
