Synthesis Collaboration
Synthesis has worked closely with Mozza Foods since their Series A round in 2022.
Why we backed them:
At Synthesis, we’ve long believed in the potential of technology to transform the future of dairy. Mozza's proprietary molecular farming platform is designed to achieve lower unit costs at scale than dairy proteins from cows. Their approach represents a scalable, field-grown alternative to traditional dairy farming, without compromising on taste or quality.
How Synthesis engaged:
Since leading Mozza’s Series A round in 2022, we’ve worked closely with Adam and his team to accelerate their progress, advising on key technical milestones and helping navigate regulatory pathways. Together, we’ve strengthened casein yields and entered early engagement with global dairy partners.
