Danish impact startup Decameal has secured DKK 12.7 million (approximately €1.7 million) in new funding to accelerate its mission of transforming an invasive marine species into a sustainable protein source that could be incorporated into aquafeed.
The company extracts protein and other ingredients from overabundant beach crabs, providing a valuable resource for the feed and food industries while helping to restore marine biodiversity.
Backed by a strong team led by CEO Leander Hessner, Decameal has achieved significant results in a short time – both commercially and research-wise.
Decameal has just closed an investment round of more than DKK 3 million, from a consortium of business angels, including members of the Keystones network.
“It has been a pleasure to help Decameal navigate this funding process and assemble a strong team of investors.
