Bluestein Ventures raises $45M for third food tech fund
Bluestein Ventures targets consumer-facing technology across the food supply chain like health and wellness, proprietary foodtech, commerce and digital technology.
Previous investments include Factor75, a prepared meal delivery service acquired by HelloFresh in 2020; Foxtrot, a group of tech-enabled corner stores; FourKites, which developed freight visibility software; and Meati, a mycelium-based alternative protein. It has already invested in a few companies, including BiomeSense, an end-to-end platform to scale gut microbiome research and testing; WECO Hospitality, a chef-quality prepared meal delivery service; and Attane Health, a marketplace for food prescriptions for those with chronic conditions. Bluestein Ventures believes the sector is at some major inflection points that will accelerate innovation in the next few years, especially as more consumers prioritize their health and wellness, Hartman told TechCrunch.
