Calling Entrepreneurs to Start Your Own Venture in the Alternative Protein Sector
Are you an entrepreneur with a passion for sustainability and a desire to create positive change in the food industry? Are you interested in the emerging trends and technologies of the alternative protein industry and want to be a part of this growing movement?
The alternative protein industry is growing rapidly with the potential to become a 140 billion USD industry within a decade. There has never been a better time to launch your own venture in this space. We at Lever's venture builder program are excited to offer you the opportunity to launch your own venture in the alternative protein space with our support.
Who we are
We are Lever Foundation Growth Fund. Our team has over 15 years of investment experience in the alternative protein field, having backed more than 80 start-up companies. Our standard investment size is 100,000 to 200,000 USD, with the potential for follow-up funds of up to 5 million USD.
We are dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs in their journey to create innovative solutions to global challenges. Our venture builder program is designed to help entrepreneurs gain access to the resources and support they need to turn their ideas into successful businesses. We have a strong track record of working with entrepreneurs, providing them with the necessary resources and guidance to help their businesses reach their full potential.
Who We're Looking For
We are looking for individuals with the entrepreneurial attitude and personality skillset to start and grow a successful company. Good applicants could include experienced business managers, investment professionals, or food sector workers; talented business school graduates; experienced entrepreneurs who have previously launched a company; or could come from an entirely different background. As you will need to successfully pitch the company and its products to investors and business clients, the ability to communicate professionally and to persuade others is important. As you would be running your own business, an extremely high work ethic, strong drive to succeed, and ownership mindset are critical. Interest in the alternative protein or plant-based foods space is also a must, as we only support entrepreneurs in this category.
Launching a new business is always risky and always a lot more work than that of a conventional salaried role. If you feel entrepreneurship calling despite its challenges, Lever Foundation can help provide the resources, support and guidance to help you turn that vision into a reality. Apply now to learn more and request support from Lever to launch your own startup in the alternative protein or plant-based foods space.
This opportunity is open to all applicants in (or launching businesses in) Southeast Asia.
