PINC stands for Paulig incubator. It is the venture arm of Paulig: a corporate venture capital unit that invests in early stage start-ups in and around the future of food. The objective of PINC is to help Paulig renew itself and prosper as well as contribute to a tastier, healthier and more sustainable planet. We aim for strategic, financial and societal impact: the magnitude of each varies with different start-ups in our portfolio. We are an evergreen fund: we do not have a determined time for exit but always acts in the best joint interest of the start-up and investors.
