In the Investment Climate Podcast episode featuring Jyrki Lee-Korhonen from Perfat Technologies, the focus is on how they secured €2.5M in funding for their innovative fat ingredient technology. The company has developed a non-novel, oleogel-based technology that reduces saturated fat and calories, while adding dietary fiber. They were able to secure funding by shifting towards a capital-light plan, aligning valuations with investors' interests, and engaging in creative structuring of the investment round.

The podcast also highlights the importance of networking and making warm introductions to potential investors. In Perfat Technologies' case, a warm network intro led to their first Nordic investment and introduced them to a second investor. The episode provides insights into the strategies and approaches taken by successful Climate Tech CEOs and Leading VCs in securing funding for innovative agrifood tech companies in 2025.
