Investing in a healthier, humane and sustainable future

Sentient Investments* invests in novel, protectible and scalable enterprises that will contribute to a more sustainable, efficient, secure and just food system.

We are patient, founder friendly and prefer to invest as early as possible into mission aligned, rationally valued businesses that are innovating away from animals in the food system and that are addressing key challenges to environmental sustainability.
