US$ 3.5 million Seed Funding
Harvest B secured a fundraise of US$ 3.5 million in a seed funding round that was held on Jul 14, 2021. The venture capital round was led by notable investors like Woolworths’ venture arm, Aura Ventures and W23.
US$ 1 million Grand funding
The one-year-old startup raised US$ 1 million in grant funding from the Australian Manufacturing Growth Centre (AMGC) under the Modern Manufacturing Initiative’s Commercialisation stream.
Fund Utilisation
The Aussie startup will use the funding to expand its range of cost-effective, premium plant-based protein ingredients and size up production to provide plant-based product corporations across the nation and extend its foot into the global market.
What the CEO has to say
Cofounder Riordan said as he remarked about the investments, “Werner has over 30 years experience in Australian food manufacturing, working closely with the meat industry to develop high-quality ingredient systems. But when it came to applying that knowledge to plant-based meat, the ingredients he could access in Australia were limited in both supply and performance.”
She added, “We could also see that despite having a brilliant agricultural industry, Australia produces a relatively low amount of value-added exports compared to neighbours such as New Zealand. There was an untapped opportunity to allow farmers to add value to their crops.”
