Our food chain is broken - the system that can barely feed 7 billion people will not feed 10 billion we’re expected to reach by 2050. And while it's hard to imagine that things could be different, they have to be.  

At Better Origin, our mission is to fix the broken food chain. We are inspired by nature and how it deals with waste, with nutrients always flowing in a circular system.  

Our technology uses insects - nature's best up cyclers - to transform food waste into a range of innovative products, from animal feed to pet food. With the help of AI and robotics we support localising food chains, reducing waste and emissions, making circular economy possible. 

We’re backed by world-class investors at Balderton Capital, Fly Ventures and Metavallon VC. We're working with supermarkets and food producers to roll out our technology in the UK and the EU. In 2020 we launched our first system the X1, and in 2021 signed a contract with Morrisons to convert their fruit and veg waste and create a carbon neutral egg line. In 2023, we expanded our solutions to produce sustainable ingredients for pet food. We’re rapidly building momentum and are continuing to develop new technology and products.

Following our $16m Series A round raised to support technology and team scaleup, we are looking to hire the best people that make Better Origin a great place to work.  

We are very proud of our values and want to attract those who feel motivated by them as much as we are. Some of our key values include:  

1. Customer obsession
2. No waste
3. Challenge makes us grow
4. Accountability drives excellence
5. Respect each other
6. Keep it simple, keep it done
