## Questions

### Which sectors does Oyster Bay explicitly avoid?

Oyster Bay invests exclusively within the food value chain and explicitly avoids companies it lacks a thesis for. If the team does not understand a subsector, they will not invest until they have researched it deeply. This implicitly rules out generalist software, fintech, and most non-food climate-tech categories.

### What is Oyster Bay's relationship with ProVeg Incubator?

Principal Divya Murthy previously led investments at ProVeg Incubator, a global food-tech accelerator, before joining Oyster Bay. The firm's proximity to that ecosystem — and Murthy's 10-plus years in impact investing and M&A — creates a sourcing and diligence bridge into European seed-stage food startups.

### How does Oyster Bay handle ESG and impact measurement?

Ragne Maasel joined Oyster Bay as Head of Impact and ESG, moving from LHV, Estonia's largest domestic financial group. She leads the firm's internal impact framework and works with portfolio companies on sustainability processes. All prospective investments must demonstrate a positive societal impact according to this framework.
