Thesis
Their mission is to support entrepreneurs developing innovative plant-based, precision fermentation, and cultivated meat and seafood alternatives to conventional animal products, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of animal agriculture and address food scarcity and animal welfare. The firm's investment thesis centers on disrupting the global protein supply chain, targeting companies that offer direct replacements for animal proteins. Unovis prefers to invest in companies focused on scaling and production, moving beyond the 'science project' phase. They have a global mandate, investing across North America, Europe, Asia, and Israel, primarily acting as lead investors but also participating in follow-on rounds. They support companies from Pre-Seed to Series B stages, emphasizing sustainability and mass-market opportunities. The firm closed its second fund, Unovis NCAP Fund II, C.V., in January 2022, at €146 million (approximately $166 million USD), with a reported latest fund size of $162.9 million and an estimated AUM of $4.2 billion. Typical check sizes range from $500,000 to $5 million, with some sources indicating $250,000 to $2.5 million.
