Thrilled to announce Ananke's participation in EvodiaBio's €7 Million Series A round, led by Export and Investment Fund of Denmark and The March Group. This investment contributes to a significant step forward in the transformation of the way natural #aromas are produced for the food and beverage industry. EvodiaBio's precision fermentation platform is a true game-changer, offering a sustainable, scalable, capital and cost-efficient alternative to traditional methods. By leveraging yeast to produce natural aroma compounds using a wonderfully elegant cytosolic pathway, the team offers a true alternative to food and beverage producers increasingly worried about price and availability of flavour compounds in the context of climate change. The company's initial focus is on the non-alcoholic beer market, where their hop aroma blends, Yops™, are already enhancing taste and addressing the explosive demand for high-quality, alcohol-free beverages. Camilla Kloss Fenneberg and the founders have surrounded themselves with a formidable group of industry veterans: Flemming Besenbacher, Andreas Fibig and Anne Cabotin to name a few. With this deal, we're joining a syndicate of top investors in the sector: Bart Van Hooland and Abel ROSSIGNOL at Thia Ventures (at long last our first deal together!), Lauri Reuter at Nordic Foodtech VC, good friends Marika King and her team at PINC, Newtree Impact and Symrise AG. We raise a glass to tasty alcohol-free brews and endless other flavours to come! 🍻 #precisionfermentation #biotech #sustainablefood #naturalaromas #futureoffood #climatechange #newdeal #venturecapital

About us
We're specialist agtech and foodtech investors. Too often in the way we currently produce food, the aspect of sustainability for both nature and humans is overlooked or outright ignored. Technology alone won't change this fact, but it can meaningfully contribute to the solution: a future in which mankind does not have to worry about food security. Because we're convinced of this, we decided to create Ananke, a VC firm that backs entrepreneurs at seed and Series A in Europe and in the US. The time to act is now, and we need to do it decisively.
