The Alternative Protein Industry - A Great Field for Entrepreneurship

With the growth of population and the improvement of economic level, the public pays more and more attention to food safety, food health and sustainable development, and the demand for diversified and sustainable protein sources in the market is growing rapidly. Plant-based protein, cell cultured and fermented proteins provide a diverse, healthy and sustainable source of protein. The world's leading investment bank predicts that the alternative protein will develop into a 140 billion USD industry within a decade.

We back early-stage startups in the field of plant-based meat (beef, chicken, pork, seafood, etc.), eggs and dairy products (yogurt, cheese, milk, and other dairy products), as well as animal protein production through cell culture, fermentation, modified crops, and the development of related products and technology. Our standard investment size is 100,000 to 200,000 USD and the invested companies also have the opportunity to obtain follow-up funds of up to 5 million USD from Lever VC.

Lever Growth Fund has more than 15 years of comprehensive investment experience in the alternative protein field, and has invested in more than 80 start-up companies in the alternative protein field, including Beyond Meat and Upside Foods. Since 2020, we have invested in 14 cutting-edge alternative protein start-ups in Greater China Region, including Avant Meats, the first cell-cultured seafood company in China; CellX, a cellular agriculture and biotechnology company; Haofood, the first company producing clean-label plant-based chicken, etc. In Southeast Asia, we have invested in 4 companies including plant-based beverage company MAD in Singapore and plant-based meat company Meatless Kingdom in Indonesia.

In addition to providing your earliest stage of start-up kick-off capital of up to 200,000 USD, we leverage our 15 years of investment experience in the sector as well as our extensive network in the food and investment communities to accelerate exceptional entrepreneurs' activation:
