Current Foods, a San Francisco, CA-based alt-protein challenger known for making fish from plants, raised $18M in Seed funding.
The round was co-led by Ray Lane, Managing Partner at Greatpoint Ventures, and Union Grove, with participation from Electric Feel Ventures, the venture arm of entertainment juggernaut, Electric Feel Entertainment. Other backers included Astanor Ventures, Chris Paul, and Tenacity.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its distribution and product offerings – both domestically and internationally.
Led by CEO Jacek Prus, Current Foods makes seafood entirely from plants from earthly ingredients, without any of the microplastics, mercury, or planetary strain. After a soft launch in spring 2021, the company is now rolling out nationwide in restaurants, retail, and e-commerce.
