GrinGrin Foods
Barcelona-based plant-based food producer (rebranded to "Vrave" in 2022-2023) offering multi-category vegan products — burgers, sausages, chorizo, calamari, gyozas, falafels and tapas — targeting both retail and HORECA/foodservice channels. Reached ~€1M revenue within two years before raising outside capital, and later partnered with Spanish seafood group Angulas Aguinaga to co-develop a konjac-based calamari (Aguinamar) sold in Alcampo and Carrefour. Founded in 2018-2019.
