Zero Cow Factory Raises $4M In Seed Funding
Zero Cow Factory, a New York-based biotechnology company producing animal-free protein and dairy products, raised $4M in Seed funding.
The round was led by Green Frontier Capital, GVFL and pi Ventures, with participation from Pascual Innoventures.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its R&D efforts, scale up production capacity, and obtain regulatory approvals to hit the market.
Co-founded in 2021 by Sohil Kapadia and Parini Kapadia, Zero Cow Factory has developed patented technology to produce dairy proteins such as casein & whey, without any animal being involved. The company is focused on animal-free casein production. Its first product is A2 Beta-casein which is also healthier as the A1 milk protein which causes indigestion is absent from their product. Its animal-free ‘Smart Protein’ is a healthy alternative to cow’s milk protein as it is free of lactose, antibiotics, growth hormones, cholesterol and saturated fat.
Zero Cow Factory is also a part of global innovation accelerators such as Mylkcubator in Spain, MassChallenge in Switzerland and Plug and Play in the USA.

Climate change is now a driver of the world’s economy. The impact is profound:
- Catastrophic weather events — hurricanes, floods, droughts, high temperatures — are more frequent and more extreme. The cost can be measured in both the initial damage caused and the longer-term impact on the economy.
- Vulnerable communities are increasing climate-related investments, hardening infrastructure and taking other protective measures.
- Investment in carbon capture and storage technologies is increasingly rapidly.
- Governments are making investments and crafting regulations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
On top of all of this is the cost of uncertainty. As the Fourth National Climate Assessment, released in 2018 by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, says, “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid.”
