AKA Foods Ltd . today announced the completion of a 17.2 million dollar seed funding round led by renowned AI experts and entrepreneurs Alex and Michael Bronstein. The funding marks the official launch of AKA Studio , a secure AI system and proprietary platform that enables food companies to create, optimise, and launch products much faster, smarter, and more affordably than ever before.
Designed to transform how food products are researched, formulated and developed, AKA Studio consolidates a companys own knowledge and ongoing R D into a structured foundation. This incorporates experimental and analytical measurements related to texture, aroma and taste from dedicated sensory research facilities, before applying AI assistants to guide formulation and optimisation.
For research and development teams, this integration shortens the innovation cycle from years to weeks by combining historical and ongoing R D data, ingredient specifications, sensory feedback and regulatory documentation into a unified, intelligent framework. For business leaders, it transforms organisational knowledge into measurable innovation assets that improve productivity and profitability. For investors, it represents a defensible, category-defining technology at the intersection of AI and food science, augmented by sensory evaluation.
