Percuro is a low carbon, next-generation pet food that is ethically farmed and formulated using insect proteins. The company argues that its pet food has a low carbon pawprint whilst being hypoallergenic and nutritious with low inflammation properties. Percuro has launched its Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) site in the UK and Germany with a roll-out plan that includes covering additional EU markets later in 2021, raised a £340,000 seed investment in the previous 10 months, and signed product listing agreements with key retailers in the UK and Singapore. The company will use 40% of the investment for brand building through digital marketing, 30% for retailer brand-building investments, 20% towards launching treats and its plant dog range, and 10% towards new market expansion into Asia.
