Dive Insight:
由于许多投资，新产品和研发近几个月来都放缓了，Perfect Day仍在以惊人的速度增长。新投资占公司总终生资金的44％的事实是在冠状病毒大流行中的，这表明Perfect Day的产品产品对投资者仍然有吸引力。它提供了一种可持续的乳制品成分，可以通过自己的品牌名称以及与其他制造商的合作伙伴关系来上市。
Perfect Day的联合创始人兼首席执行官Ryan Pandya在通过电子邮件发送给Food Dive的一份声明中说：“我们从不怀疑我们是否达到了这一点，我们只是没想到会这么快到达这里。”“而且，多亏了我们的世界一流的团队和投资者，我们不打算很快就踏上踏板。冠状病毒大流行表明我们的食品系统有多脆弱。”
潘迪（Pandya）是一名先前为医疗领域制作抗体的科学家，与佩鲁玛尔·甘地（Perumal Gandhi）合作，他于2014年获得生物技术学位。他们致力于理解生产无母牛乳制品蛋白背后的科学和化学。在2018年，该初创公司进入了partnership with Archer Daniels Midlandto scale and commercialize their dairy proteins. A year later, Perfect Day made its first product:Dairy-free ice cream在自己的品牌下。
The company has not said what it would launch next, though it teased possibilities with a collection of images sent to the media in 2019. These options included milk, shredded and natural mozzarella cheese, cream cheese and spreadable cheddar cheese. But潘迪在一月份告诉食物潜水the company's more immediate focus was partnering with food companies to use its protein as an ingredient rather than market its own products under the Perfect Day label.
潘迪亚说：“目前，没有冰淇淋品牌几乎不了解我们。”“每个主要的跨国公司（公司）正在与我们交谈。”
尽管许多人都注意到了完美的一天的成分，但最新的资金回合也表明，它的可持续性善意也被注意到。可持续性是Perfect Day哲学的核心部分，但该公司目前并不是一个广播。世界野生动物基金会注释奶牛create large amounts of greenhouse gases, huge amounts of water and land are used to feed them, and poorly managed farms can lead to large scale land and water pollution.
Consumer concern about sustainability has been growing. A survey conducted by management and consulting firm Kearney this spring found 11% of consumers have根据环境主张改变了他们的购买within the last year, and nearly half became more concerned about the environment during the pandemic. In April, 83% of consumers said they take the environment into consideration when making a purchase.
The Canada Pension Plan's investment in Perfect Day gives a solid endorsement of the company's sustainability potential, especially since it was chosen as the first investment in the fund's climate change portfolio. This could pay dividends for Perfect Day that go well beyond the new $160 million in funds announced today.
随着消费者对可持续性的评价，食品制造商可能对以完美的一天制作产品更感兴趣。消费者将对在Perfect Day自己的品牌或其他使用Perfect Day蛋白质的制造商中寻找这些产品更感兴趣。不断提高投资者对完美一天的兴趣 - 素食主义者，尖端的食品科学和可持续性 - 继续案子为了公开公开并扩大参与其增长的投资者的覆盖范围。
