One hundred assessed.

That ratio is the point. A studio's job is to say no accurately, then commit completely to what is left.

SentiaNova neutral plant protein, a glass jar of fine white powder
The first one, 2026

SentiaNova

The world's first truly neutral plant proteins. Off-flavors removed, not masked.

The problem

Off-flavors are the single biggest barrier to plant protein adoption

Beany, bitter and green notes limit how much protein a manufacturer can include and drive consumers away from the finished product.

The technology

A patented process that removes them at the raw material stage

Before concentration or isolation, rather than masking afterwards. Licensed from a leading European university and validated against demand we had already established with manufacturers.

What it does
•Works across starch-rich pulses: yellow pea, fava bean, chickpea, mung bean
•Supports every format: flours, concentrates, isolates, textured proteins
•Plugs into existing contract manufacturing, so no new factories are needed
•Clean label by design, with no solvents, no E-numbers and no added flavors
Where it stands
•Patented technology licensed from a leading European university
•CEO Daria Reisch selected from 200+ applicants, having built and exited Agrinorm
•Independently validated: a truly neutral flavor profile confirmed

Who runs it

Daria Reisch

Founder & CEO

Six years building Agrinorm, exited in 2025. Selected from more than two hundred applicants to co-found SentiaNova.

“FOOD FOUNDERS brought the technology, the network, the funds and three experienced people working full time on my company. I have started one from zero before, and we have covered ground in months that used to take me years.”
