dsm-firmenich is a global leader in nutrition, health, and beauty – and our Venturing arm is always on the lookout for startups with the potential to accelerate innovation and make an impact together.

We’re on the ground in North America and Europe, where we engage with and invest in ambitious, promising startups. They’re all unique, but they all have one thing in common: their work is a strategic fit with our innovation ambitions for (at least) one of the four dsm-firmenich business units:

• Perfumery & Beauty
• Taste, Texture & Health
• Health, Nutrition & Care
• Animal Nutrition & Health

In addition, our scope includes technology platforms and digital tools that serve across sectors.

We support inventors and entrepreneurs with everything from ideation to operating a sustainable business. We enable founders to thrive as independent entrepreneurs, but we’ll always be there to guide and advise, playing an active role in startup activities at the board level.

But it’s not just our team’s decades of collective venturing experience that our investees and partners can rely on. We can also draw on the impressive scientific, technological, and commercial resources of dsm-firmenich – to foster fruitful collaboration and bring progress to life.
