Dao Foods is an impact-oriented investment firm that invests in alternative protein companies in China, as well as non-Chinese companies that have some strategic value to China in terms of its protein diversification. Our mandate is to support entrepreneurs that can play a role in capturing the mind and wallet shares of mainstream Chinese consumers. China is the largest consumer market in the world with rapidly rising incomes and increasing animal protein consumption, which if left unaddressed will lead to growing negative environmental, food safety and health impact. Dao Foods believes that supporting talented entrepreneurs who are targeting mainstream Chinese consumers with new, exciting, and viable alternative proteins is a huge business opportunity with massive social impact.' Dao Foods also receives support from non-profit grant funders to execute industry ecosystem building activities to engage relevant stakeholders that include local governments, investors, food industry professionals and entrepreneurs in China.
