About FoodLabs

FoodLabs is Europe’s leading early-stage VC and venture studio, backing founders who are shaping the future of food, health, and wellness. We believe the next wave of consumer companies will redefine nutrition, metabolic health, and preventative wellness, which is why we backed companies like reformed, ahead, Holy, and the Sanity Group.

Why This Is A Unique Opportunity

We are looking for a mission-driven Founder to build and scale a category-defining weight loss consumer brand that stands for efficacy, aesthetics, and empowerment to take care of your own health. Think science-forward wellness with a vibrant, “feel-good” brand identity, offering various delivery forms, all wrapped in a lifestyle-forward, inclusive brand narrative. Leveraging early formulation work with top nutritionists, metabolic science, and design teams, you’ll launch a product line that curbs cravings, supports metabolism, and resonates with modern, health-conscious consumers.

This is your opportunity to launch a VC-backed consumer company from zero with pre-seed funding, operational support, and hands-on expertise in marketing, hiring, GTM, brand building, and product development. You’ll have access to a world-class network of founders and experts in nutrition, health, and consumer goods, while building a breakthrough weight loss brand in one of the fastest-growing markets with lasting impact on millions of people’s lives.
