Your product ideas. Tested as prototypes in up to 6 weeks
Your pipeline is full of ideas, your R&D is full of day-to-day work. We take over early-stage prototyping and deliver solid answers on feasibility.
Discuss your idea, no strings attachedDuration
approx. 4 to 6 weeks
Outcome
Documented, scalable prototypes
Good ideas sit idle because nobody has time for them
You know the situation: your company has more product ideas than capacity. Your R&D team is specialised in the existing portfolio or simply at full capacity. New market requirements such as alternative proteins, new textures or functional ingredients sit outside established routines.
The result: ideas wait months for a first test. And while they wait, competitors move faster.
Your ideas become prototypes you can actually taste
FutureFoodCo takes over early-stage prototyping as an external team: fast, iterative and focused on feasibility. Three steps take you from idea to documented prototype.
01
Pre-check
We quickly assess your existing ideas for feasibility and prioritise which concepts are worth prototyping. If you like, we contribute ideas of our own.
02
Agile prototyping sessions
In iterative sessions we develop first prototypes, test recipes and textures, and adjust after every round.
03
Finalisation & documentation
You receive the finished prototypes including documentation as the basis for scale-up in your own production or with a co-manufacturer.
What you walk away with
Feasibility resolved
You know which of your ideas work in the lab before scale-up planning, packaging and listing talks depend on them.
Clear routes to execution
For each concept you get a concrete recommendation on how to execute: in-house, with partners, or not at all.
A relieved R&D team
Your team stays focused on the core business. We handle the exploratory work, with documentation that plugs into your processes.
Companies that trust us
Frequently asked questions
After an initial call and briefing, usually within a few weeks. The pre-check of your ideas is the first step and only requires your existing concepts.
That depends on the number of concepts and the complexity of the recipes. After the first call you receive a concrete proposal with a clear scope.
You. Recipes, prototypes and documentation are fully transferred to your company.
The documentation is built so your team or a co-manufacturer can continue directly. If you like, we also support scale-up through to series production via our product development service.
