The FlyFeed founder describes his journey from working at SaaS startups to building his own insect protein company to combat global hunger.
The Paris-based startup will supply insect protein to ADM’s pet foods division, to create “high-quality nutritional” products with “a significantly lower carbon footprint and land requirement.”
The Bangkok-based startup makes pet food products out of black soldier fly larvae, feeding them “a diet from pre-consumed food waste” and other “food surpluses.”
London insect farming startup Entocycle will lead the project, which will aim to build a facility that rears black soldier flies by the millions.
Colorado-based Bond Pet Foods just secured bridge financing to take its total funding to date to $2 million.
