How were you able to finance your work?

We started our activities with private capital of the owners, then ProVeg International invested in our company, after that we won a grant - and for now we sold 50 % of our business to bigger partners who produce vegan sausages.

What hurdles and obstacles did you encounter along your way and how did you deal with them?

First of all it was war - but we keep going and believe in a better future.

What have you had particularly good experiences with? What recommendations would you like to share with other actors?

The biggest thing that stimulated our sales and increased them several times are novelties that can surprise the consumer. It can be plant-based salmon or tuna, plant-based steaks, plant-based squid and shrimps, and many other alternatives.

Are there any tools or other forms of support that have played a role for you?

First of all, there was a great impact for us during our participation in the ProVeg Incubator, and secondly, great support is also coming now that we have started cooperation with a sausage manufacturer.

Where do you see yourself/your organisation in a few years? How do you rate your future prospects?

We see ourselves as leaders in the market of Ukrainian alternatives and top 5 brands in the European market.

What are your demands for politicians?

More support for young businesses with non-returnable financials.
