Today, we are pleased to present this fantastic interview with Nadav Berger of FoodLab Capital, which is one of the first FoodTech VC’s. Have a look to get a sense of some of the impressive work he has done over the years.
Nadav’s empire actually started in 2008, when Nadav co-founded the food applications lab FoodLab. The innovative developments at FoodLab lead to the founding of FoodLab Capital, a premier seed fund. The successful portfolio includes DouxMatok, InnovoPro, NextFerm and SimpleOrder.
“We have a unique window of opportunity where the traditional food industry must respond rapidly to changing consumer habits and, therefore, must adopt new technologies … or risk losing out. As a leading player in food technology, Foodlab Capital generates value for our investors, while at the same time positively affecting the quality of life and health of consumers. We are grateful for that.” — Nadav Berger
As a third generation food entrepreneur, Nadav has actively built many companies specializing in food applications, marketing and distribution. Prior to co-founding Foodlab Capital, Nadav has established Vita chef and FoodLog.
In addition to FoodLab Capital, Nadav is also the Founder and Managing Director of Peakbridge Partners. Peakbridge Partners has brought together a team of world leading experts from the agri-food industry, investment management and venture capital world, combining decades of experience and achievement. It is the only venture capital fund to be an official partner of the world’s largest agri-food innovation initiative, EIT Food, which makes it uniquely positioned to be a leading investor in global FoodTech.
