GGinqo
Ginqo is a Spanish direct-to-consumer pet food brand that makes grain-free, hypoallergenic dry food for dogs and cats using insect protein (black soldier fly larvae) combined with yellow peas, beetroot, lentils, blueberries, algae and turmeric, positioned around pet health and a lower environmental footprint. It is an early-stage foodtech operated by Proteco Food & Feed from Ajalvir in the Madrid region, selling online, on marketplaces (Amazon, Tiendanimal, Correos Market, Miravia) and through roughly 60 Spanish specialist stores, and was admitted to the Amazon Launchpad programme. In September 2023 it closed a round of more than €242,000 led by an Italian business angel (€100,000) with the rest from friends, family, customers and investors syndicated via the Startupxplore platform, earmarked for marketplace growth and distribution deals in Italy, France, Germany and Portugal.
