Bloom8

Investment decisions are made by the Managing Partners: Alexandre Ruimy, Gabriel Ruimy, and Brandon Chong. Alexandre and Gabriel co-founded the firm in 2018. Brandon Chong brings direct food-industry experience as the former global CFO of the Joël Robuchon group, a position that gives the firm an operator lens on restaurant and consumer investments. Samy Boccara supports deal origination and portfolio development as Head of Business Development.

Bloom8's Managing Partner Brandon Chong previously served as global CFO of the Joël Robuchon group, a fine-dining brand with international locations. The firm lists the Joël Robuchon Group among its portfolio holdings, indicating an investment relationship that creates operational overlap between Bloom8's investment team and an active restaurant platform. This hybrid structure gives the firm direct exposure to foodservice unit economics and consumer trends.

Bloom8 targets growth-stage, late-stage, and pre-IPO companies. The firm's disclosed portfolio transactions range from $35M to $175M funding rounds, which typically corresponds to Series B through late-stage venture or pre-IPO capital. It does not describe any seed-stage or early-venture activity, and its positions in companies like Tropic Biosciences and Aleph Farms were made during rounds large enough to fund scale-up production facilities.

Available public information describes only direct investments into portfolio companies. Bloom8's website lists individual company holdings — including Aleph Farms, Remilk, and Ripple Foods — as direct portfolio positions. There is no mention of committing capital to external venture capital or private equity funds as a limited partner, suggesting the firm concentrates its capital into a curated set of direct food-system bets.

Bloom8 maintains offices in New York, London, and Singapore. Its disclosed portfolio spans companies headquartered in the United States (BlueNalu, Mission Barns, Ripple Foods), Brazil (Future Farm), Israel (Aleph Farms, Remilk), and Singapore. The firm's geographic focus mirrors global food consumption and production hubs rather than a single domestic market.
