    Zürich/Luxemburg, August 20th, 2025. Collateral Good, a Zürich based multi-strategy investment firm, has announced the mandate of an existing Sustainable Food Fund with ca. EUR 100M assets under management (AUMs). Collateral Good secured the mandate after winning an auction process organized by Deloitte Luxembourg with support of ca. 85 % of the existing LPs, (Limited Partners, meaning investors) in the fund. The fund, previously called Blue Horizon Ventures I, had been placed into a voluntary liquidation by these LPs.   The new mandate represents an important milestone for Collateral Good on its journey in building a leading climate-first Venture Capital platform.   The Fund now named “Collateral Good Food Innovation I” will be focused on managing and enhancing value creation of a portfolio of 14 world leading innovators and companies in the fields of plant-based alternatives (Planted), precision fermentation (Every, Algama) and Cultivated Food (Mosa Meat). The Fund is led by a team of four partners around Collateral Good’s co-founders Mariana Gonzalez and Michael Kleindl.   The partners and the portfolio are supported by a team of industry experts and advisors such as Maxence de Royer (Nestlé), Constantino Matouk (Bimbo Corporation) and Frank Alexander Kühne (Adalbert Raps Stiftung), amongst others.   After a market setback in recent years, the growth outlook* confirms the promising mid-to-long-term perspectives for this industry, which will be largely responsible to secure nutrition for an ever-growing population on the planet.   Collateral Good is now managing three Venture Capital Funds with total AUMs of more than EUR 140M.   Michael Kleindl, Founder and Managing Partner of Collateral Good: “We are incredibly satisfied for this outcome of a long bidding process. The fact that Deloitte chooses us with the support of more than 100 LPs in this fund speaks for itself. We are very motivated to manage this portfolio of innovative start-ups around the globe and to support them in achieving sustainable value creation and success.”   Ronald Janse, Managing Partner at impact fund of fund manager Wire Group comments: "We have been closely and actively involved in the transition process and are happy to see a resolution that we believe to be in the best interest of all stakeholders. In Collateral Good we have found a strong partner that paves the way for impact and value creation towards the future."   *Sources: Polaris Market Research; Alied Market Research    About Collateral Good: We are a pioneering multi-strategy investment firm committed to addressing environmental challenges through high-impact investments.
