YPOG advises Oyster Bay on structuring second generation funds totaling over EUR 100 million

YPOG represented Oyster Bay in the structuring of its second-generation funds. The funds significantly exceeded their original target and closed with a total volume of over EUR 100 million. Leading institutional investors, as well as numerous entrepreneurs and companies from the national and international agri-food sector, invested in the fund. Oyster Bay invests across the entire food value chain — in technologies, products and business models that drive the transformation of the global food system. The press release highlights the scale of the food sector and a structural investment imbalance: the sector accounts for more than 10 percent of global economic output, 40 percent of all jobs and USD 10 trillion in sales, while less than eight percent of climate-related VC investments worldwide have gone into food and agri-tech to date. Oyster Bay positions the fund to address that imbalance. The new fund generation has already invested in several high-growth food and agri-tech companies, including goodBytz (robotic solutions for professional kitchens), Nukoko (alternative cocoa production), Arda Biomaterials (upcycling brewers spent grain), and seedalive (AI-supported rapid tests to determine seed germination capacity). Oyster Bay's first fund generation, also advised by YPOG, had earlier invested in companies such as Air-Up, True Gum and Oatly and, according to industry benchmarks, ranks among the top ten percent of its European peer group. Dr. Julian Albrecht, partner at YPOG, said the successful launch of the second-generation funds underscores Oyster Bay's strong position in the European food and agri-tech ecosystem. He noted that the team combines deep entrepreneurial expertise with a clear impact ambition and that YPOG was pleased to support the structuring process to enable innovative founders to drive change in the global food industry. YPOG represented Oyster Bay with a team composed by: Dr. Julian Albrecht, partner (funds, regulatory and corporate practice).
