**Spotlight: Plantible's $30M Series B offers a sustainable solution amid price spikes and shortages ?? Got eggs? ?? ?? ?? Egg prices spiked 400% during recent shortages, leaving food manufacturers scrambling to navigate volatile supply chains while also addressing mounting allergen concerns and consumer rejection of synthetic ingredients—creating a $30B+ market opportunity. Meanwhile, animal agriculture generates emissions equal to 5x all cars in America combined, consumes 70% of agricultural land, and guzzles 29% of our freshwater. We're highlighting one of our newest portfolio companies Plantible whose Series B funding in November is fueling the rapid scaling of Rubi Protein?—a remarkable functional protein extracted from Lemna (duckweed).Rubi outperforms both animal and plant proteins functionally while enabling food manufacturers to maintain clean labels and reduce costs. The RuBisCO breakthrough: ? Functions like animal protein (emulsifying, binding, gelling) at dramatically lower inclusion rates ?? ? Complete protein with PDCAAS score of 1.0—matching animal protein nutritionally ?? ? Enables egg replacement during supply shortages and price spikes (up to 400% in recent years) ?? ? Grows on non-arable land without pesticides, using 90% less water than traditional crops while saving millions of acres of farmland ?? ? Already securing multi-million dollar offtake agreements with major food companies ?? Most importantly, Rubi Protein isn't merely a substitute—it often outperforms animal and synthetic ingredients while optimizing costs and maintaining clean labels. It's a pragmatic revolution in food manufacturing that improves products while reducing environmental impact. Shoutout to founders Tony Martens Fekini and Maurits van de Ven, who started with an abandoned algae farm in San Diego and are now operating a 100-acre commercial facility in Texas. Their innovative approach to transforming a common aquatic plant into a revolutionary food ingredient exemplifies the kind of pragmatic, market-driven climate solutions we're proud to support.
