TLDR:
- Brinc, a global venture capital firm, will now host GlassWall Syndicate, a network of alternative protein investors.
- The partnership aims to expand beyond alternative proteins, focusing on climate-aligned verticals and connecting with businesses in Asia-Pacific and other regions.
Alternative protein network GlassWall Syndicate will now be hosted by global venture capital and accelerator firm Brinc. Brinc, headquartered in Hong Kong, has announced the collaboration to propel GWS into its next phase of growth, expanding beyond alternative proteins into other climate-aligned verticals, and connecting with businesses outside North America. The partnership allows individuals to make investments as low as $1,000 up to growth-stage firms exploring Series D deals upwards of US$100M.
Founded in 2017, GWS comprises high-net-worth individuals, VC, and private equity firms, supporting investors in the sustainability space through deal flow access, early-access industry data, and networking opportunities. Brinc, a global VC leader, operates 10 accelerator programs across seven countries, helping startups in various sectors like climate and agritech, blockchain tech, AI, and robotics. By combining their services, Brinc and GWS aim to support strategic growth and expansion into sub-verticals related to climate adaptation, advanced materials, circular economy, clean energy, and more.
The goal of the collaboration is to uncover new investment opportunities, especially as the agrifood tech sector witnessed a significant downturn in VC funding last year. Brinc is raising a Series C round with a $50M target to scale its tech platform and services, expand into new markets, and further develop its fund management capabilities through acquisitions.
