Five Season Ventures

Five Seasons Ventures is a Paris-based venture capital firm founded in 2016, focused exclusively on food technology across the full value chain — from agricultural inputs and food processing through consumer brands and distribution technology. As a Certified B Corporation, the firm is one of the few European VCs to hold that certification, reflecting a genuine commitment to social and environmental performance alongside financial returns. Five Seasons operates as the leading pan-European food-tech specialist fund, bringing deep sector expertise and a network of industry connections to its 25-company portfolio. The firm leads seed and Series A rounds across Europe, typically investing $1 million to $8 million. Investment thesis spans consumer products, agritech, sustainable materials, and technology enabling a healthier, more efficient food system. Named portfolio companies include Tropic, a horticulture company developing sustainable alternatives to palm oil; Hey Holy, a pet nutrition brand; and Untamed, another pet food company. Five Seasons has backed companies at the frontier of both consumer food innovation and the agricultural inputs that supply chains depend on. With a 13-person team including five partners and 25 investments made since founding, Five Seasons brings an unusually concentrated sector knowledge base to founders navigating complex food industry dynamics. The B Corp certification differentiates the firm among LPs and founders who prioritize impact alongside returns, and the firm's pan-European mandate gives it coverage across a fragmented but fast-growing food innovation landscape.
