Nourish Ventures as a Partner

We at Nourish Ventures are committed to helping our partners grow and achieve the goals we share.

We are a group of food scientists, culinary experts, and investors, focused on adding value to the partnerships we form. We invest in companies in two ways: financial investment and strategic work. The latter can take many forms from formulation to product development, to help with scale-up, to commercialization. However we can help, we will.
