We’re honored to be featured in Sifted — one of Europe’s leading publications on startups and innovation — as part of a special article exploring how corporate venture capital (CVC) can accelerate first-of-a-kind (FOAK) climate tech.
The piece outlines the role CVCs play in helping early-stage technologies overcome technical, financial, and commercial barriers by offering more than just capital: they bring deep industry expertise, access to testing infrastructure, and long-term strategic alignment.
Uncaged was highlighted for our pilot partnership with Jaguar Land Rover, backed by their CVC arm InMotion Ventures. The article recognized the value of this collaboration in helping validate breakthrough biomaterials like ELEVATE™—our grain-based, plastic-free alternative to leather—within real industrial contexts.
As we continue scaling ELEVATE, this kind of support plays a critical role in bringing new material standards to market—faster, smarter, and with lasting impact.
This recognition reinforces our belief that science-backed innovation, paired with strategic partnerships, is key to driving transformation across industries.
