About FoodLabs

FoodLabs is Europe's leading early-stage VC and venture studio, backing founders who are shaping the future of the food, health, and climate value chains. We build companies from zero, putting capital, our own team, and hands-on operating time behind a founding team before there's a product or even a name. The studio's work spans wherever a market and the data or infrastructure underneath it are broken enough to justify building the fix from scratch.

About The General Data Corporation

General Data is the infrastructure for licensing proprietary data: The platform runs the whole deal from request to delivery, with privacy checks, rights evidence and contracts built in. The vision is to become the system of record between AI and the world’s private data, the data that has never been published but that the next generation of AI depends on. On one side are enterprises, AI labs and robotics teams that need real-world data, and on the other are companies whose operations generate it. General Data is the data infrastructure for the modern economy, connecting every party so that data can be licensed safely, transparently and at scale.
