## About

Founded in 2020 and based in Herzliya, Israel, Vanilla Vida specializes in the production and distribution of natural vanilla extract and vanilla-related products. Shlomo Kadosh (COO) and Oren Zilberman (CEO) are the co-founders of the company. The company provides natural vanilla products, which are sourced from vanilla beans that are sustainably grown and harvested in Madagascar and other countries around the world. The firm uses technologies and solutions such as data-driven detection and identification, protocols, and advanced metabolic solutions. Vanilla Vida's products are sold through a variety of channels, including online marketplaces, specialty food stores, and gourmet food retailers. In August 2025, Vanilla Vida raised USD 3.5 million in venture funding led by Windare Ventures, with participation from Arancia International,  Paneurinvest, Oceale Investments, and PeakBridge. The company plans to utilize the August 2025 funding for indoor vanilla cultivation system deployment, curing facility construction in Uganda, and global production network expansion.
