    Description
    Terviva


    Founded in 2010,Tervivais a rapidly growing food and ag-tech company that delivers tasty and nourishing plant-based food ingredients from thepongamia tree.

    Terviva is headquartered in Alameda, California and has offices in Florida, Hawaii, Australia and India.

    In 2021 May, the company raised $78.0MM in equity capital to commercialize its highly sustainable, new-to market culinary oils and plant proteins.

    Terviva additionally launched a collaboration with Danone that illustrates a shared vision to improve the environmental outcomes of the food system by supporting regenerative farming practices that improve soil health, water quality and biodiversity, while also improving social and market outcomes.
