Alfred advised urban farming start-up UMAMI AG on its CHF 4.3 million Series A funding round.


We are pleased to announce that we supported UMAMI AG in successfully securing a 4.3M CHF Series A funding round from private and professional investors.


UMAMI AG, a pioneering start-up located in the heart of Zurich, is transforming urban farming. UMAMI grows herbs and vegetables, following nature's example. The biodiversity and the natural balance of the ecosystem ensure that no artificial fertilisers or pesticides are needed!


Leveraging Alfred's signature interdisciplinary business & legal capabilities, our dedicated team provided comprehensive support to UMAMI throughout the journey, including:

  • Financial planning and modeling

  • Pitch deck preparation

  • Legal guidance on every aspect of the financing process


Special thanks to our team leads: Johannes Heinrich (Finance), Thierry Barbey (Legal), Sandro Stich (Legal), Thomas van Gammeren (Legal).


We’re proud to have played a role in UMAMI's growth and look forward to seeing them continue to thrive. Here’s to the future of sustainable urban farming! Contrats to the founders Denis Weinberg und Robin Bertschinger and the whole UMAMI Team!
