Overview
Unilever Corporate Ventures leverages its expertise in consumer products. The venture capital group, a subsidiary of consumer products giant Unilever, backs startup companies in the food, beverage, home care, personal products, leisure, and other sectors. It especially looks for brands that could dovetail with existing Unilever products and seeks out companies that can benefit from Unilever's particular expertise. Investments include Persil Services (dry cleaning and laundry), Alleggra (egg alternatives), and the unfortunately and evocatively named Brainjuicer (market research). Unilever Ventures is ready to invest between £500,000 and £10 million for companies it deems healthy, if not yet wealthy.
