Finance

With Oyster Bay, we invest in ambitious founders to create a sustainable food system for future generations. We have previously invested in companies such as Oatly, AirUp, Stenon, TrueGum, Peas of Heaven, nukoko and GoodBytz. Our first fund is in the top 10% of European VC funds in terms of performance and we are now raising our next fund.

A sustainable food value chain would contribute to solving the climate crisis, ensuring food security for our growing population, and supporting soil health and clean water without creating billions of tons of waste.

The good news is - it’s possible. Our generation can solve these challenges, if we invest enough financial and human capital in scaling up and realizing the potential solutions across the value chain.
