About Open pitch intake
Better Bite's pitch route is always open. It is a direct pitch to the fund, not a cohort, accelerator or application window, and no deadline is stated.
What you get
- A read and a reply from the partners, who say they respond to every pitch
- If the fund is interested, a five-step process: get in touch, a first call, digging in, a term sheet, and money wired
- An equity investment; the fund says it likes SAFEs and suggests a standard Y Combinator-style SAFE
Who can apply
- Founders at Founding, Preseed or Seed stage
- Startups in the fund's focus areas: emissions in rice, yield improvement with less synthetic fertilizer, food waste reduction, sustainable ingredients and proteins, algae
- The fund invests across Asia Pacific. Its First Bite page says that includes India, but the pitch section does not say whether India-based founders qualify, so ask when you write
How selection works: The partners read the deck and reply. If they want to go further, the process moves through a first call and due diligence to a term sheet.
How to apply: Send your deck to pitch@betterbite.vc. A warm introduction is not needed.
