Volare: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)
We are a Nordic deeptech company changing how the food industry operates. We do this with the help of an amazing insect, the black soldier fly, and our proprietary technology and know-how. We produce sustainable protein, oil and fertilizer that can replace unsustainably produced alternatives. Our products are used in aquafeeds, pet food, chemical and fertilizer industries, and our products can replace e.g. soy, fish meal and palm kernel oil. Our ground-breaking technology – based on years of research and development at VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) – makes Volare’s process the most sustainable in our field, which is why we’ve probably been noted as one of the hottest startups in Europe by WIRED. Right now, we’re in the process of planning our first industrial-scale facility in Finland. We are backed by Maki.vc and firstMinuteCapital.

About FundedIQ's Volare 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 Volare is left off this page rather than filled in.
