Fermify secured a pre-seed funding round led by Übermorgen Ventures and Backbone Ventures

Fermify, a Vienna, Austria-based startup building a fully automated production platform to address the issue of large-scale milk protein production, announced closing a pre-seed funding round.

The money was raised from investors led by Übermorgen Ventures and Backbone Ventures, joined by Bitburger ventures, Kale United and Push Ventures.

The proceeds will be used for the launch of the company's cheese products, which will serve as proof of concept for the entire platform.

Fermify, founded in 2021 by CEO Eva Sommer, is an alternative food producer that can provide casein proteins via precision fermentation, offering identical or superior performance and nutrition to conventional dairy proteins.
