Kost Capital

Event season is coming up at we are looking forward meeting fantastic founders and VC peers at the following events: 🇩🇰 TechBBQ September 11-12 🇸🇪 The Drop September 17 🇫🇮 NORDEEP Summit September 18-19 🇬🇧 Future Food Tech LTD October 2-3 🇪🇸 VDS tech October 23-24 🇫🇮 TONIC Summit & Slush November 19-21 Take the opportunity to listen to our keynotes and panel conversations on Better food for more people - and connect with Bodil, Paul, Kasper, Mark Emil, Christian and Jacob from the Kost Capital team.

What we look for: Digital infrastructure 🤖 We need to bring Better food for more people, yet, the food industry is far from digitalized: new technologies such as synthetic biology, precision fermentation and smart food waste solutions struggle to get traction due to lack of digital infrastructure. ➡️ We’re looking for foundational technology that can improve operational efficiency, make good food more accessible & data driven and accelerate the transition we’re all working towards. 🛠️ If you have your own start-up in the space, or just a passion for technology and are curious how it can move the food industry forward - don’t hesitate to reach out (we are working on a few spin-outs on the topic).

What we look for: Alternative coffee ☕ Every morning starts with coffee. Yet the coffee industry is struggling with effects of climate change, deforestation, water usage, child labor and surging prices. We’re in urgent need of coffee alternatives. The market in short: ☕ The coffee market is valued at ∼$120 billion ☕ Coffee production need to increase by 25% to satisfy demand by 2030 ☕ Suitable land for coffee production is disappearing globally ☕ Coffee alternatives are projected to soar to $19.8 billion by 2032 If you're passionate about building solutions and want to be part of its development, we'd love to connect with you. Let's innovate together!
