==Operations<ref name=":0" />== <vimeo>428311717</vimeo> The idea for Aardvark originated with our founder, Hugo and his search for sustainable food for his two cats. He found out pets are responsible for 1/4 of the environmental damage associated with the meat industry, but at the time couldn't find any sustainable food for them on the market. Cats are also obligate carnivores, meaning that a plant-based diet doesn't meet their nutritional needs. * So, we created a sustainable range of dry kibbles for dogs and cats using protein from insects rather than animal meat. * We developed our kibbles to be grain-free, contain nutritious ingredients like seaweed and we only use natural ingredients- no fillers. * Insect protein is endorsed by the British Veterinary Association and their president; Simon Doherty, says it is even "better for pets than top steak". We are a scalable business that is capital-light. We will initially sell DTC with plans to expand into Europe in 2021 and the U.S by 2024 and entering a global pet food market worth $74.6 billion (2019). Increasing environmental concern, increased pet ownership and increased premiumisation, will help boost Aardvark sales in a world still affected by COVID-19, with a planned exit within 5-7 years through acquisition. We require capital to assist in manufacturing our first batch of pet food and help market the products to pet owners across the UK.
