## About

Founded in 2020 and based in The Netherlands, Time-travelling Milkman B.V. operates as a producer of dairy alternatives using European seeds and plant-based materials. Dimitris Karefyllakis (CEO), Saskia Tersteeg, and Costas Nikiforidis are the co-founders of the company. In December 2025, Time-travelling Milkman B.V. received an undisclosed amount of grant funding from European Regional Development Fund.

The company provides a portfolio of products, including spreads, ice creams, yogurts, cooking creams, desserts, and drinks. The firm’s primary product is a dairy cream equivalent derived from sunflower seeds. This creaminess is produced without the use of animal milk, making it a clean and green option. It also provides several benefits, such as unsaturated fats, additional proteins, and vitamins, which increase the nutritional value. Time-travelling’s partners include Shift, Startlife, Food Accelerator Network, Foodvalley, NWO, and others. Time-travelling Milkman B.V. generates revenue by selling Oleocream and plant-based fat ingredients for dairy alternatives, supported by venture funding and partnerships with food producers.

The company will use the December 2025 funding to scale up sunflower-based ingredient technology, develop OleoCream, OleoPowder, and SunPulp, and optimize production for plant-based dairy and meat applications.
