Change Ventures led the €400,000 pre-seed investment round to Estonia-based Inspectle Food
The team is actively developing a platform tailored for conducting routine hygiene inspections within GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) certified food production plants. Through its AI-assisted toolkit, Inspectle aims to remove inefficiencies from large-scale food production compliance. The round was led by Change Ventures with participation from FIRSTPICK andHEARTFELT_.
With the funding, Inspectle Food will continue to take on an age-old process that often involves Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, replacing it with a B2B SaaS solution, as well as pave a foundation for expansion plans in Europe and the US.
Now armed with €400,000 in Pre-Seed funding, Inspectle is taking on an age-old process that often involves Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, replacing it with a B2B SaaS offering that helps food production employees streamline the process of pulling potentially dangerous foods off the production line before they make it to your plate.
Through its automated tracking and assigning of non-conformities, Inspectle says it’s seen proven results with clients including Lallemand and Saarioinen, resulting in elevated hygiene standards, reductions of both costs and food waste, and additional peace of mind for the end consumer.
In addition to making foods safer and reducing costs for producers, on the administrative end, Inspectle can generate British Retail Consortium (BRC), IFC, and FSSC-compliant reports.
Tallinn’s Change Ventures led the round with founding partner Rait Ojasaar commenting: “Food safety impacts us all, and even more so, it impacts the producers. For them, being able to streamline food safety inspections is not just a matter of checking the boxes; their reputation and even their license to operate depend on it. "Inspectle Food's inspection platform provides producers with the painkiller they've all been waiting for.”
