18 Aug 2020 --- Lever venture capital (VC), a global alternative protein venture capital fund whose partners include investors in Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, Memphis Meats and other key industry players, has completed the first close of Lever VC Fund I. The Fund, which is investing globally in early stage plant-based and cell-cultivated meat and dairy companies, has already built a portfolio of ten alternative protein start-ups around the world. The Fund currently has US$23 million in capital commitments amid increasing demand for sustainable and humane alternatives to traditionally animal-derived protein.
