"After the first few years of bootstrapping, we are delighted to be able to step on the gas even more and at the same time bring so much expertise on board," says one of the three founders Felix Linnenschmidt.

Verrano has developed a process to refine vegetables through ripening. The products made from ripened turnip, celery or beet are already available for the food service industry. The start-up's customers range from cafés and hotels to fine dining restaurants and major customers such as Deutsche Bahn.

"I'm a huge fan of the products myself. We also hope to be able to help the team with our technological expertise," says Tobias Weber. Founder Manuel Siskowski is particularly pleased about the new partners. "We have found investors who are really enthusiastic about the product. We are also gaining expertise from the industry, which is incredibly valuable at this stage."
