What Eatable Adventures does

Eatable Adventures SL is a Madrid-headquartered agrifoodtech accelerator, innovation partner, and venture capital firm founded in 2016. The company operates a multi-sided platform that connects early- to growth-stage food startups with food and beverage corporates, government entities, and investors across Europe and Latin America. Its core products comprise cohort-based acceleration programs (FoodSeed in Italy, Raíces in Spain and Latin America, Wine Tech Challenge in Italy), four regional innovation hubs (Madrid, Verona, Bogotá, FoodRise in the Southern Cone), a €30M investment fund for direct equity participation, a Circular Economy advisory service, the Global Open Innovation & Corporate Venturing Summit, and a proprietary research arm publishing annual state-of-the-sector reports on Spain, Italy, and Colombia.

The underlying "technology" is an ecosystem management and program-operations platform rather than a software product: it sources startups through application pipelines, runs structured multi-month acceleration cohorts, executes corporate open-innovation and government ecosystem-building engagements, and manages co-investment vehicles (notably the €15M FoodSeed fund co-led with CDP Venture Capital, Fondazione Cariverona, and UniCredit). The firm aggregates 70+ corporate partners (including UniCredit, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Grupo Bimbo, Calidad Pascual, Sigma Foods) and reports a community of approximately 25,000 solvers across its hubs and programs.

The business model combines four revenue streams: acceleration program fees (professional services), corporate innovation partnerships (managed services for open innovation, scouting, and pilots), government and public-sector programs (managed services for hub and ecosystem development), and investment-related economics from a €30M fund under management. Pricing is bespoke and undisclosed; contracts are secured through direct enterprise and government field sales plus application-based startup pipelines. The company has offices in Madrid, London, Verona, Bogotá, and Uruguay, and reports 100+ startups accelerated annually with cumulative portfolio outcomes of €10.2M+ raised by FoodSeed-accelerated companies and 50+ industrial pilots executed.
