Collateral Good Wins Bid to Manage Blue Horizon’s Sustainable Food Portfolio

Collateral Good, a Zürich-based investment firm, has won the mandate to manage the Sustainable Food Fund with approximately EUR 100 million in assets under management. Formerly known as Blue Horizon Ventures I, the fund entered voluntary liquidation due to disputes with its original management team. Collateral Good will now operate the fund under the name “Collateral Good Food Innovation I,” focusing on innovative companies in the food sector such as plant-based alternatives, precision fermentation, and cultivated meat, with support from industry experts.

The fund’s transition follows legal and financial challenges, with Collateral Good taking over management responsibilities after co-founder Michael Kleindl parted ways with the original fund. With a growing demand for sustainable food solutions, Collateral Good aims to support innovative start-ups and achieve sustainable value creation. Managing three venture capital funds totaling over EUR 140 million, Collateral Good continues to prioritize investments in sectors addressing environmental challenges, particularly in sustainable systems within food, packaging, and textiles to drive impact and value creation in the future.
