We are living in a moment of euphoria within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Startups are receiving funding like never before, and unicorns are emerging everywhere with sky-high valuations. This is a good thing—capital plays a fundamental role in driving the innovation created by entrepreneurs.
However, among all the sectors benefiting from Venture Capital funding, there is one that curiously remains underrepresented in the statistics yet impacts the lives of every one of the 8 billion people on this planet: the food and beverage sector.
The global food system is riddled with inefficiencies: food insecurity, waste, and environmental impacts, to name a few. At the same time, there are visionary entrepreneurs dedicating their lives to solving these problems and transforming the economic dynamics of the sector.
Yet, many of these entrepreneurs struggle to access capital, and countless promising businesses fail as a result. In this context, Outcast Ventures was born—a global investment firm with a mission to bridge the gap between foodtech entrepreneurs and the capital they need to thrive.
