2.5 million euros for Perfeggt

A plant-based alternative to eggs is the start-up's vision. The foodtech is receiving financial support from investors Beyond Meat, Gorillas and Good Catch.

Perfeggt has completed its first financing round of 2.5 million euros. Investors include the EVIG Group, Stray Dog Capital and Shio Capital. The investors have already supported successful start-ups such as Beyond Meat, Gorillas and Good Catch with capital. Business angels Godo Röben, Frank Kühne, Fredrik Jung Aboou and Ludwig Cramer-Klett also participated in the financing round.

The start-up has developed a liquid egg substitute based on vegetable proteins. Perfeggt wants to use the money to hire additional employees and further develop the alternative. "We know that taste is the most important thing for consumers. That's why we are working hard to combine the right plant-based proteins and fats to recreate the extremely complex multifunctional properties of ice cream and its special flavor," says co-founder Bernd Becker. The start-up is also planning to enter the German, Austrian and Swiss markets in 2022.

Tanja Bogumil and Evig Managing Director Gary Lin founded Perfeggt this year together with Bernd Becker, the former Head of Research and Development at Rügenwalder Mühle.
