"Our current investment portfolio shows considerable promise for future growth, given the scale of opportunity to invest in the nascent alternative foods sector. We are expecting significant developments in a number of our portfolio companies that should positively impact their valuation in the coming months.
2022 saw a decline in venture funding across the board, and also within the field of cellular agriculture. Whilst this may be seen as a concern, we are optimistic that this reset has allowed for a readjustment of company expectations, to allow for funding rounds to be completed in the coming months at favourable and realistic valuations. Cellular agriculture remains a bright spot of activity for capital deployment in companies that offer defensible IP, and technologies that will allow for a revolution in the way we produce food and other agricultural products." - Richard Reed, Chairman
