About Better Origin

Our food chain is broken - the system that can barely feed 7 billion people will not feed 10 billion we’re expected to reach by 2050. And while it's hard to imagine that things could be different, they have to be.

At Better Origin, our mission is to fix the broken food chain. We are inspired by nature and how it deals with waste, with nutrients always flowing in a circular system.

That is exactly what happens inside the Better Origin X1 container, where food waste is fed to insects, which then become a carbon negative source of protein for animal feed. This enables us to not only reduce food waste and emissions, but also support a local-first supply chain.


Why join us?

We’re backed by world-class investors at Balderton Capital, Fly Ventures, and Metavallon VC. We're working with supermarkets and food producers to roll out our technology in the UK and the EU. In 2021, we signed a contract with Morrisons to convert their fruit and veg waste and create a carbon neutral egg line.

Following our $16m Series A round raised to support technology and team scaleup, we are looking to hire the best people that make Better Origin a great place to work.

We are very proud of our values and want to attract those who feel motivated by them as much as we are. Some of our key values include:

  1. Don’t dream about a better future – build it.
  2. Leave no room for waste.
  3. Dare to explore.
  4. Work for the team, not just yourself.
  5. Keep it simple, keep it done.

Our team comes from a variety of backgrounds and different places around the world. We're growing fast, scaling from 40 to 50 people by the end of 2023 - now is the best time to join!

Benefits

  • 25 days holiday + birthday + bank holidays
  • Hybrid, flexible working
  • Pension scheme
  • Cycle scheme
  • Private health insurance
