Backing an Experienced Founder
Brendan Brazier is the co-founder and formulator of Vega, a plant-based food and supplement company. In 2015, Vega was sold to Denver-based giant Whitewave Foods for US$550 million. Brendan is also the co-developer of the very first Beyond Meat burger, the "Beast Burger".
Brendan is a venture partner at Blue Horizon Ventures, an impact venture fund shaping the future of alternative proteins.
Widely credited for being a first mover in the plant based movement, Brendan has now founded Fiction Foods to be a first mover in changing the way we construct food and leverage cell based ingredients.
