Collaborative Fund is a venture capital firm that backs early-stage companies and has previously invested in household names such as Lyft, Whoop and Beyond Meat.

Collaborative Fund and Fine Structure Ventures led the round to support the scale up of cultivated fat manufacturing.
"At Hoxton Farms, we are obsessed with fat. Fat is the single most important sensory component in all of the meat that we eat. Using cultivated fat alongside plant proteins, we have shown that we can make products with the juiciness and flavour that plant-based meat has been missing. We’re now building our pilot plant in central London so that we can show visitors a new way of making the same delicious meat."
The financing round was led by Collaborative Fund to support technology development and international expansion.
"2021 was a transformative year for Zoomo, as we saw enterprises and fleet managers, in addition to gig-workers, benefit from our innovative platform. 2022 is the year we take the business up a gear. The series B+ surplus funding will enable us to grow more aggressively across the globe, and ultimately put more efficient, safe and clean transport solutions on our roads."
