## About

Based in Tel Aviv, Israel, and founded in 1996 by co-founders Yuval Weisglass, Matan Scharf, and Jonathan Scharf, Ansa Ltd. offers a fully autonomous mini roaster that serves as a sustainable alternative to the huge, noisy, and smoking industrial roasters. In August 2023, Ansa Ltd. raised USD 9 million in venture funding led by Jibe Ventures, with participation from other investors, including Closed Loop Partners, Millennium Food-Tech, New Climate Ventures, and Sweetwood Ventures.

The company offers the ansa coffee solution, which combines the ansa Micro-roaster with speciality green coffee beans to provide high-quality, fresh coffee with a minimal environmental footprint. The company's roasting technology utilizes dielectric heating and AI-driven automation to achieve a consistent and homogenous roast from the core to the shell of the beans. The approach allows for on-demand roasting at the point of consumption without producing any byproducts like heat, noise, or smoke. Ansa Ltd. offers sustainability, employing waste-free packaging, directly sourced beans, and efficient energy utilization to minimize their coffee's carbon footprint.
