Chomp has raised $3.6M in seed funding, a bet on the idea that last night鈥檚 leftovers are more than just garbage. The company builds self-contained anaerobic digesters that convert uneaten food into fuel and biofertilizer, keeping organic waste out of landfills while producing something useful on the other end.
The round arrives as municipalities and businesses face mounting pressure to hit ESG targets, and Chomp鈥檚 pitch is straightforward: plug in a vessel, feed it scraps, and get energy back without the logistics of hauling waste elsewhere. The company frames itself as a local solution with global ambitions-helping communities generate their own power while shrinking their environmental footprint. Details on who led the round or how the capital will be deployed weren鈥檛 disclosed.
