Formo
Building the new food industry for a more sustainable and resilient future of planet Earth
Formo harnesses the power of precision fermentation to create the next generation of sustainable and indulgent animal-free products. Founded in 2019 by Raffael Wohlgensinger, the company is combining synthetic biology, advanced food science and state of the art product design to develop the holy grail of the animal-free food universe: cheese and egg products that are indistinguishable from the conventional benchmark product. Formo is the first precision fermentation company ever to launch products in the European market in 2023. Having been incubated by Atlantic food labs in Berlin, the company is backed by some of the most renowned investors across food (FoodLabs, CPT, Agronomics, Happiness Capital), deep tech (EQT Ventures, M Ventures, Elevat3 Capital, Grazia Equity) and climate (Lowercarbon Capital, Lionheart Ventures).
