About
nextProtein produces sustainable insect-based protein for animal feed, addressing resource scarcity with minimal carbon footprint. The company processes insect-based protein at lower cost with equivalent nutritional value, using otherwise unconsumed organic waste as feedstock for black soldier fly larvae. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Paris, France, nextProtein has raised approximately $33.3M in Series B funding from investors including Blue Oceans Partners, Mirova, British International Investment, EBRD, and Kepple Africa Ventures. The company's vertical farming approach to insect protein production enables rapid biomass conversion from organic waste, producing protein meal and organic fertilizer simultaneously while requiring significantly less land and water than conventional protein sources.
