We back ambitious startups across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) that are reinventing the way we produce, serve, and experience food.
Founded by a team with 30+ years of success in hospitality and international retail chains, FoodAngel sHUB combines deep industry know-how with a passion for nurturing bold ideas in food production, service, and technology.
FoodAngels HUB was born from the idea that venture capital can do more for entrepreneurs.
Our central vision is to move beyond the traditional VC model of simply writing checks and managing portfolios, and instead build an entire ecosystem around our investments.
This means creating a collaborative community where all stakeholders – founders, investors, industry experts, and partners – work together to lift each other up.
We believe a rising tide lifts all boats, so our goal is to foster an environment where every startup we back has the best chance to thrive, and in turn, elevates the food & beverage industry as a whole.
Our mission is to nurture impactful food and beverage startups in CEE and beyond, and to redefine what it means to be a venture capital fund in this space.
We measure success not only by financial returns, but by the thriving network of entrepreneurs and partners we cultivate.
By integrating financing with mentorship, industry connections, and a collaborative spirit, FoodAngels HUB offers a 360° platform for growth.
