Oyster Bay is one of the first venture capital funds dedicated specifically to the European food industry, run by entrepreneurs rather than traditional financial investors, who focus on food-system resilience—such as reducing dependence on critical raw materials and improving supply security—and who accept fewer than 0.1% of applicants into their portfolio. With a track record that includes an early investment in Oatly and a Fund I that ranked in the top 10% of European VC funds, the firm has kept investing in food tech through industry downturns while staying closely engaged with founders through early outreach and direct AMAs.
