Protifarm has succesfully raised funding for its strategic growth plans
November 2019 — Protifarm NV, a Dutch agri-tech leader, has teamed up with a group of investors led by the East Netherlands Development Agency (Oost NL) that focuses its activities on strengthening and stimulating the economy of the provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel, the Netherlands.
As a global pioneer, Protifarm produces functional and sustainable ingredients for the food industry from food-grade farmed insects. The company has a leading position in a fast-growing industry and responds to the urgent need for a healthy lifestyle and to reduce global footprint. Due to population growth and higher prosperity, there is a strong increase in demand for highly nutritious functional ingredients. With the millions of funding that Oost NL and the other investors provide, Protifarm is able to further accelerate its growth and expand its processing capacity. Tom Mohrmann, CEO at Protifarm, said: "Our ingredients contain the quality of animal protein but are far more sustainable than other sources of protein from animals or vegetables."

The London Stock Exchange’s Private Securities Market (PSM) continues to demonstrate its potential as a venue for providing shareholder liquidity in high-growth private companies. Following the successful employee share sale for autonomous driving pioneer Wayve earlier this month, fintech leader Moneybox has completed a US$61 million (£45 million) employee liquidity event through the PSM. By structuring the transaction as an employee liquidity event, long-serving employees with vested equity have been able to realize some of the value they helped create while enabling Moneybox to remain private and continue its growth journey. Crowdcube managed the employee seller and investor participation process.
