Hamburg, October 24, 2023 - Hamburg-based foodtech startup GoodBytz recently announced a €12 million investment in its Series A funding round. The main investors are Oyster Bay Venture Capital and Block Group. This move comes despite the tight economic situation in Germany.

Goal: healthy eating through robotics

GoodBytz's mission goes beyond the normal food offerings - the intended goal is to make healthy eating accessible to everyone through robotics.
