NUTRUMAMI, an innovative Danish startup elevating plant nutrition and flavor for a less animal-dependent future, announced the successful closing of a €450k pre-seed funding round. The investment was led by Kost Capital and Planetary Impact Ventures. With this new funding, NUTRUMAMI is planning to expand its team and prepare for full commercialization.
NUTRUMAMI is pioneering a new ingredient category: “multi-functional plant proteins.” Through a unique cross-fermentation process (patent-pending), NUTRUMAMI enhances plant protein taste, texture, and nutrition. This technology enables the creation of clean, wholesome, plant-centric foods that are delicious and nutritionally superior.
“Our mission is to unlock plant proteins to transform the quality of plant-centric foods in terms of taste, texture, and nutrition while being clean and wholesome to enable a true dietary shift,” said Frederik Jensen, CEO and Co-Founder of NUTRUMAMI.
“By leveraging our advanced cross-fermentation techniques, we deliver synergistic impacts like enhanced protein with heightened bioavailabilities, reduced antinutrients, rich umami, and unique heightened levels of key vitamins and minerals to solve today’s challenges in plant-based foods by gaining real flavor from the protein and delivering a complete nutritional profile,” added Jensen.
NUTRUMAMI is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, and was founded by Frederik Jensen, a fine-dining chef with over 12 years of experience in FMCG innovation. Jensen previously served as CIO and Co-founder of CHEW in Boston. The company’s Head of Fermentation, Chuchu Huang, holds a PhD in microbiology and fermentation and previously worked at Mycorena and Novo Nordisk.
