The Ontario-based maker of cricket-based protein powders, roasted crickets, and insect-based snack bars has closed a US$2.9 million funding round to support growth and expansion. The round, led by investors in Asia and Canada, will be followed late this year by another capital-raising effort, the company said. Maple Leaf Foods, Canada's largest protein-centric packaged goods company, took a minority stake in the business in 2018. Entomo also has relationships with Crickstart, a Canadian company making protein bars, gourmet crackers, and smoothie mixes from cricket powder, and with Human Improvement, described as "an innovative health and wellness brand."
