Business Angel @Planet A Foods

Munich, DE

Max and Sara, the founders of Planet A Foods, reached out to us very early in their startup journey and we helped them build their first pilot production, lab and office in Munich, Martinsried. It is rare to see so driven and ambitious founders in their early days and it was immediately clear that I would join them as Business Angel when given the opportunity. Just a few weeks after, they were selected to join the YCombinator and, as of Mid 2024, have raised $43.3 million for creating a sustainable chocolate alternative, which is already available in many supermarkets.Under the Brand they are selling their chocolate alternative as an ingredient to many, very famous brands such as Linde, Kölln Müsli or DeBeukelaer\' Cereola Cookies,Fun Fact: They even convinced Lidl to include the ChoViva Seal front of pack on their private label products even though their Managing Board declined the first time.
