Perfat Technologies, a food deep-tech startup, raises €2.5m to address the global problem of unhealthy fats
Perfat Technologies has raised €2.5m in Series A financing to scale production, grow its team, and launch innovative healthy lipid-based solutions, to address the problem of harmful saturated and tropical fats without compromising taste or texture.
“This financing marks a major milestone in our journey. We aim to grow rapidly, transform the food industry, and create a healthier future for millions of consumers worldwide. For us, substituting traditional solid fats is not just about innovation, it’s about caring for people’s health, helping manufacturers adopt sustainable solutions, and reshaping the way the world thinks about fats.”
“Our mission is to back food revolutions that blend strong science with real market impact. Palm oil remains one of the most pressing challenges for both human health and sustainability. Perfat stands out with a functional fat that is healthier (80% less fat, up to 30% fewer calories, added fibers) and adaptable to customer needs. This breakthrough technology fits squarely within our portfolio expertise, paving the way for a healthier, more sustainable future of food.”
"As investors in ingredient platforms across human and pet nutrition, we are highly impressed by Perfat’s ability to produce tailor-made solid functional fats. Their platform offers a kinder, cleaner, and healthier alternative to dairy and other animal-derived fats—holding the potential to redefine the role of functional fats in our diets.”
“At Big Idea Ventures, we know how difficult it is to replicate the versatility of fats. Perfat has achieved this with a breakthrough technology delivering healthier fats that combine functionality, sustainability, and cost efficiency. Their product is market-ready today, with no additional regulatory hurdles, positioning the company to scale rapidly. We have strong conviction in the
team’s ability to commercialize this innovation globally and set a new standard for the future of food ingredients.”
By entering the fast-growing market for sustainable and functional food ingredients, which is projected to reach $129 billion in 2025, Perfat is positioning itself as a next-generation alternative to conventional fats, aligning consumer health, environmental sustainability, and food industry innovation.
