Kost Capital, a €25m early-stage food tech fund backed by Denmark's sovereign fund EIFO, launched in January 2024 with a test kitchen and venture studio attached – and a team that includes a chef, a food scientist, and a food historian.
Sidén's own route into venture capital was equally unconventional. Before VC, she was in politics, including as press secretary to former Swedish prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt.
