In Ovo: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

The company In Ovo aims to improve animal welfare and efficiency in the poultry industry by offering biotechnological solutions. They specifically address a longstanding issue in hatcheries: the culling of male chickens at one day old. Their solution involves implementing a gender screening process early on in the breeding process. This approach offers several benefits such as reducing the stress experienced by the chickens during manual gender sorting, decreasing energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the hatchery, and avoiding the need to euthanize newborn chickens. In this way, In Ovo enhances the animal-friendliness and sustainability of hatcheries while also improving their overall efficiency.

About FundedIQ's In Ovo Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for In Ovo is left off this page rather than filled in.
