Temasek joins Impossible Foods' US$300m Series E funding round

The startup’s sales in Asia, including Singapore, have risen more than three-fold since March 2019.

California-based foodtech startup Impossible Foods raised US$300m in its Series E funding round led by Temasek Holdings and Horizons Ventures, an announcement revealed. In total, the startup has raised more than US$750m.

In addition to blue-chip institutional investors, the Series E round included celebrity investors like Jay Brown, Paul George, Jay-Z, Serena Williams, and Katy Perry.

According to the firm, the latest funding round comes amidst unprecedented demand for its flagship product, the plant-based Impossible Burger, which debuted in 2016.

Since launching in Singapore in March 2019, sales in Asia have increased more than threefold as it benefited from strong sales from a wide range of restaurants and cuisines in Hong Kong and Macau.

Impossible Foods plans to launch the Impossible Burger in retail outlets later this year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
