AKA Foods Ltd. announced the completion of a $17.2 million seed financing round led by renowned AI experts and entrepreneurs Alex and Michael Bronstein. The financing marks the official launch of the secure AI system AKA Studio. The proprietary platform enables food companies to develop, optimise and bring products to market significantly faster, smarter and more cost-effectively than ever before.

AKA Studio is set to revolutionise food research, formulation and development, bringing together companies’ current knowledge and ongoing research and development work in a structured basis. This includes experimental and analytical measurements related to texture, aroma and taste from special sensory laboratories, followed by the use of AI assistants to control formulation and optimisation.

For research and development teams, this integration shortens the innovation cycle from years to weeks by combining historical and current R&D data, ingredient specifications, sensory feedback and regulatory documentation in a unified, intelligent framework. For executives, the solution transforms organisational knowledge into measurable innovation resources that improve productivity and profitability. For investors, it represents a defensible, category-defining technology at the intersection of AI and food science, complemented by sensory evaluation.
