ChickP, established in 2016 by pediatric gastroenterologist Dr. Ram Reifen, is at the forefront of the foodTech industry with its innovative chickpea protein isolate. The startup is motivated by a mission to address malnutrition with high-value, plant-sourced protein.
At its core, ChickP utilizes patented technology to create a chickpea protein isolate boasting a significant 90% protein content. This isolate stands out due to its superior solubility and neutral flavor profile, offering versatility for use in meat and dairy alternatives, and protein-fortified foods, all while eliminating the need for additional masking agents.
The experienced team, with roots in The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has prioritized sustainability, producing GMO-free products that align with environmental and ethical values.
Following a successful $8.00M Series A funding round led by Growthwell Foods in January 2022, ChickP, headquartered in Israel, is keen on forging strategic partnerships to further expand its impact in the plant-based protein sector.
