About

Purple Orange Ventures invests in early-stage food/biotech companies across the globe with a focus on alternative proteins and cellular agriculture.

Themes

Cultivated Meat

Culturing animal cells to create meat and seafood holds enormous potential to disrupt the animal agriculture industry. Areas of interest include serum-free media solutions and scalable scaffolding tech.

Microbial Fermentation

The diversity and tunability of microorganisms allow for one of the most efficient ways of producing functional proteins. Areas of interest include filamentous fungi biomass and recombinant flavor ingredients.

Plant-based Innovation

Let’s push the boundaries of utilizing plants to mimic the sensory and functional properties of meat, seafood, and dairy. Areas of interest include high-fidelity textures for whole cuts and transgenic crops.
