2025 Is Almost Here! We’re looking ahead: What trends do you think will define the alternative protein and climate space next year? Share your predictions in the comments—whether it’s about funding, innovation, or consumer trends. Let’s shape the conversation together!

Mission-Driven Investments for a Sustainable Future Our investors and startups are united by a shared mission: creating a sustainable, animal-friendly future through alternative proteins and climate-friendly subverticals. Hear from David Benzaquen on how GlassWall has made a difference to him: "Since the earliest days of plant-based and alternative protein investing, the GlassWall Syndicate has provided a home for so many of us who wish to put our capital into companies we can be proud to support. Being part of the network has allowed me to meet the most amazing, mission-driven investors and countless game-changing startups. And, as a newer investor, being part of the syndicate helps me to make better investment decisions because I share due diligence efforts with so many other strategic minds." If you’re looking for impactful investment opportunities or need support to take your startup to the next level, we invite you to learn more at glasswallsyndicate.org.
