WORK HISTORY
Co-founder, Managing Director @ProteinDistillery
ProteinDistillery is a food-tech company that aims to make vegan products the first choice for consumers without compromising on certain quality aspects. They have developed a process that produces vegan protein from microorganisms such as yeast, which has excellent functionality, texture, taste and muscle conversion while not classifying as Novel-Food or GMO [genetically modified organisms]. The protein is created from side streams that have unused potential (such as brewer\'s yeast), making it the most efficient and sustainable option on the market, locally produced in Germany. They plan to sell their protein in four main segments: meat, cheese & milk alternatives, egg alternatives, and functional food. ProteinDistillery has been recognized as the most sustainable start-up of 2023 due to its use of upcycling technology and significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions during the production of protein compared to traditional animal- or plant-based methods.
