Onima
Creating an alternative protein of excellent nutritional quality, derived from the upcycling of brewer's yeast. Onima transforms brewer's yeast into a protein-, fiber- and amino acid-rich ingredient for the food industry. A sustainable solution that meets the needs of sports nutrition, plant nutrition and petfood. Asterion led Onima's first round in November 2022.
"Onima is everything I love about entrepreneurship. It's both an ambitious and high-impact idea: getting the best out of yeast produced by breweries, an "unloved" co-product that nonetheless has an incredible nutritional profile and is produced in large quantities all over the world! Onima is also a great team, complementary, smart and able to surround itself with people. I'm delighted and honored to be able to work with them!
