Plant-based nutrition formula company Kate Farms recently closed a $23 million Series A-1 financing round, bringing its total funding to $48 million. The company plans to use the funds for accelerated growth, additional hiring, and innovation in an effort to bring its superior plant-based medical nutrition to the market. Its product is specifically formulated to help individuals with medical conditions who rely on formula-based meals, and it also serves people with other medical conditions who cannot obtain a prescription.

植物性营养配方食品公司“凯特农场”（Kate Farms）最近完成了2300万美元的A-1轮融资，至此，该公司的总融资额已达4800万美元。凯特农场公司计划把这些资金用于加速增长、扩招人员和创新方面，以便将其优秀的植物性医学营养产品推向市场。有些具有医学病症的人们需要采用基于配方的餐食或者无法获得处方药，该公司专门配制的产品可以帮助到他们。

“As an early investor, I see some parallels between Kate Farms and Boston Scientific,” Pete Nicholas, founder of Boston Scientific and Kate Farms board member, said. “By disrupting the medical device market, we ultimately created better patient outcomes. Likewise, Kate Farms, by bringing superior plant-based medical nutrition to the market, is disrupting what is basically a stagnant category—and driving great patient outcomes too. With this seasoned team and strong culture, I’m confident Kate Farms will continue to change patients’ lives.”

“作为一名早期投资人，我看到凯特农场和波士顿科学公司之间有着一些相似之处，”波士顿科学公司（Boston Scientific）创始人兼凯特农场公司董事会成员皮特·尼古拉斯（Pete Nicholas）说道。“通过颠覆医疗器械市场，我们最终使患者结局（patient outcomes）得以改善。同样地，通过为市场增添优秀的植物性医学营养产品，凯特农场公司也在颠覆这个基本上停滞不前的（医学营养）领域──而且进一步大幅提升患者结局。凯特农场公司拥有经验丰富的团队和强势文化（strong culture），本人坚信其将能够继续改变不同患者的人生。”

Kate Farms was founded in 2011 by Richard and Michelle Laver, whose daughter was failing to thrive because she couldn’t tolerate any of the available feeding-tube formulas. The couple developed a nutrition formula using organic, plant-based ingredients without the synthetic ingredients and common allergens found in traditional formulas. Its products are now used by many of the leading adult and children’s hospitals across the country.

凯特农场公司由理查德·拉沃尔（Richard Laver）和米歇尔·拉沃尔（Michelle Laver）于2011年共同创立。当时，这对创始人夫妇的女儿因为不能耐受市场上的所有管饲配方食品，出现了发育停滞的症状。于是，他们便采用植物性有机原料，并剔除传统配方中的人造原料和常见过敏原，开发出了自己的营养配方产品。现在美国各地许多主要的成人和儿童医院均使用该公司的产品。

Last week, the company donated $500,000 in product to hunger-relief organization Meals on Wheels to feed vulnerable seniors who are most at-risk amid the COVID-19 pandemic in California. Kate Farms expanded its efforts this week with a donation of 20,000 vegan nutrition shakes, which are currently being distributed by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams in partnership with The Campaign Against Hunger to at-risk seniors, particularly people of color, across Brooklyn.

凯特农场公司上星期向“送餐上门”（Meals on Wheels）赈饥组织捐赠了价值500,000美元的产品，用于在COVID-19（新型冠状病毒疾病）流行期间为加利福尼亚州中面临风险最大的弱势老年人供给食物。该公司在本周进一步扩大其资助力度，另外捐赠了20,000份纯素营养奶昔；美国纽约市布鲁克林区长埃里克·亚当斯（Eric Adams）与“反饥饿运动”（The Campaign Against Hunger）组织合作，目前正在向布鲁克林区内处境危险的老人（特别是有色人种）派发这些纯素捐赠品。
