Kost Capital raising inaugural fund to invest in European food tech startups


Kost aims to “be the best co-investor in Europe” and work with food tech and generalist investors.

General partner Bodil Sidén started the firm with LPs Kasper Hulthin, Christian Tang-Jespersen, Mark Emil Hermansen and Jacob Lee Ørnstrand. Sidén declined to say how much of the €25 million was raised so far, but did say backers include Danish sovereign fund EIFO and Kost’s founding limited partners. The European Union has its own €50 million plans to scale precision fermentation, while Aleph Farms was granted regulatory approval in Israel for its cultivated meat.
