Kingdom Supercultures, a New York-based biodesign company that specializes in developing natural microbial cultures, raised $25M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Shine Capital with participation from Valor, Tao, Lux, SALT, Reference, Digitalis, and existing investors – along with recognized names in the future of food, including the founders of Daring Foods, Good Culture, Hungryroot, RXBAR and Waterloo.
The company intends to use the funds to expand its scientific platform and R&D facilities.
Led by Kendall Dabaghi, CEO, Kingdom Supercultures provides natural microbial cultures to transform the consumer packaged goods industry. Kingdom designs and supplies a new class of natural ingredients (“Supercultures”) that make it easy for food, beverage, and personal care manufacturers to create healthy and sustainable products. These Supercultures are composed entirely of microbial strains found naturally in food, which Kingdom rearranges into new combinations with new functionalities. Manufacturers then use these Supercultures to create plant-based yogurts and cheeses, lower-alcohol wines and beers with full flavor, and personal care products without artificial chemicals.
