| nextProtein | nextProtein develops a new large-scale technology that produces a sustainable source of protein. Founded in 2015 by couple Syrine Chaalala and Mohamed Gastli, nextProtein was launched to help tackle land and resource scarcity using insect protein as feedstock.Like most start-ups, nextProtein began in a garage back in 2014. It was born from thepersonal and professional ambitions of its founders, who were searching for solutions to change agricultural food production while being able to work and live together. Syrine, an Emergency Operations Specialist at the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN, and Mohamed, a Grammy-nominated chemical engineer, identified that they could combine organic cycles of nature with the scalable efficiency of technology, to produce an alternative to wasteful and unsustainable agricultural systems. | $11.2M | Series A | May 27, 2020 |  |
