## About

Based in Paris, France, and founded in 2020 by its CEO, Frederic Paques, and CSO, Romain Chayot, Standing Ovation operates as a food and beverage company that produces cheese and other dairy products. In September 2022, Standing Ovation raised Euro 12 million in a series A round led by new investor Astanor Ventures, with participation from other new investors Big Idea Ventures, Good Startup, PeakBridge, and Seventure.

The company offers animal-free and lactose-free cheese manufactured through curdling, draining, molding, salting, and ripening. The cheese is made by mixing plant-based or mineral ingredients like lipids, and sugars, but no lactose.

The company will use the funding in the next stages of development to bring the casein production process to an industrial scale by perfecting its processed products and initiating the regulatory process.
