A new Foodbytes is here and it’s free to try.

Foodbytes · June 2026

The food & agri innovation sector moves fast. The tools most innovation managers, investors, and startups use to navigate it don’t. That ends today.

We’re launching a completely rebuilt Foodbytes that brings together market intelligence, startup scouting, and network collaboration in one place. And for the next few months, every user gets full access for free.

This is a new era for Foodbytes.

From a platform to an ecosystem

Foodbytes started as a way to connect the food & agri world. Over the past year, we’ve rebuilt it from the ground up as a full innovation ecosystem that covers the whole innovation journey. From researching new markets to finding the right startup to work with.

What’s new in Foodbytes 2.0

World Map & Market Overview

Visualise global startup activity by domain, geography, and funding stage. See where the innovation is happening and where the white space is for your thesis.

Funding Data — powered by Dealroom

Track recent funding rounds by domain, stage, and geography. View deal size, investors involved, and full funding history per startup. Powered by Dealroom’s verified dataset.

Network

Search and connect with corporates, startups, investors, experts, and universities across the F&A ecosystem. Send connection requests, follow companies, and start collaborations directly on the platform.

News

Read and filter daily market news across your chosen domains. Follow specific topics, and see what’s trending across the Foodbytes community.

Patents — powered by Lens.org

Browse and compare patent filings by technology category, company, and filing date. Spot emerging IP clusters and identify which startups are building defensible technology positions.

AI Mode (coming soon)

Describe what you’re looking for in plain language. Foodbytes AI surfaces the most relevant startups, news, and market signals for your specific mandate without manual filtering.

Free beta access until September

The new Foodbytes is launching in Beta. That means two things: you get access to the full platform for free while we continue to refine it, and your feedback directly shapes what we build next.

Beta access is free until September. Everyone who joins during Beta gets early access to our Pro features.

What’s coming next

Foodbytes 2.0 is the foundation. Over the coming months, we’ll be expanding the platform with AI analysis and new ways to connect the digital platform with our physical event programme, starting with VIV Europe 2026.

This is day one of a much bigger journey. We’re glad you’re joining us at the start.
