BlakBear - Company Profile

BlakBear is a United Kingdom-based startup that is focused on making food more efficient. The company, founded in 2017 by scientists from Imperial College, has developed sensors to determine the freshness of food products, particularly fish and meat. Their innovative technology aims to replace traditional shelf-life estimates with real-time freshness tracking. BlakBear offers these sensors and a cloud API to businesses in the food industry, with the goal of enhancing quality control, extending shelf-life, and ultimately reducing food waste throughout the supply chain.

The startup recently secured a significant £2.30M Seed Round investment on 03 January 2023. The investment was led by Ada Ventures, REMUS, Ponderosa Ventures, Tom Sturgess, and Green Circle Capital Partners, demonstrating strong support from a diverse group of investors.

BlakBear's mission to revolutionize the way food freshness is monitored and managed aligns with the growing global focus on sustainability and waste reduction. With their innovative approach and strong investor backing, BlakBear is poised to make a significant impact in the food industry and beyond.
