Though many “instant” grocery delivery startups are in the midst of layoffs, one company in Indonesia bagged a healthy Series B round this week.

As many consumers look for healthier alternatives to sugar that are still natural, Joywell Foods has tapped one that is somewhat less common. The company uses a proprietary microbial fermentation process to recreate sweet proteins found in rare tropical fruits and berries. These proteins are 2,000 to 5,500 times sweeter than sugar, so less is needed to create a similar flavor.

In “Joywell Foods raises $25M to bring sweet proteins to market,” TechCrunch reported the series B funding was led by Piva Capital, with participation from B37 Ventures, Global Brain Corporation, and existing investors Khosla Ventures, Evolv Ventures, Alumni Ventures, and SOSV.
