#ICYMI Our investee The Gentle Group recently secured S$2 million in follow-on funding from Heritas Capital’s Asia Impact First Fund (AIFF), and with our co-investment to build on their growing traction in the #dysphagia space in Singapore as well as the region. The Gentle Group is a Singapore-based #foodtech startup that has developed texture-modified, pureed food for communities suffering from dysphagia, or swallowing difficulties. The fundraise is intended to increase its production capacity and it recently opened its 7,600 square feet central kitchen to do just that. This is also in line with Singapore’s Ministry of Health's objective of implementing the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI). We were also happy to see a collaboration between our portfolio companies, with AlterPacks providing sustainable tableware for The Gentle Group’s food, which was served at their opening event. This partnership underscores both companies' dedication to advancing social and environmental impact by offering more digestible food options for dysphagic patients while using up-cycled materials. Kudos to both companies! Find out more about the raise here: https://lnkd.in/g3A-i7Hs #healthcare #sustainable #innovation
