UTEST Invests in ALT PRO Advantage Pre-Seed Round

ALT PRO Advantage is a research-driven startup spun out of University of Toronto with a growing reputation for integrity and commercial expertise. Initially launched as HOPE Pet Food, the company has consistently produced sustainable, protein-rich pet food.

Now, with a pivotal rebrand, Alt-pro is ready to expand its reach and scale its innovative products, meeting the rising demand for sustainable options in pet nutrition.

UTEST, University of Toronto is therefore incredibly proud to support CEO, Sofia Bonilla, PhD and her team at Alt Tech in their pre-seed round.  From day one in the UTEST program, Sofia has exemplified the ideal transition from researcher to entrepreneur, demonstrating exceptional skill, dedication, and vision. Her innovative work is set to make a significant impact, and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of her journey.

At UTEST, we are thrilled to co-invest alongside BDC and SheBoot, helping to provide not only funding but also strategic support as Alt Tech accelerates product development and prepares for market entry. Together, we’re committed to driving groundbreaking innovation.

Looking ahead, we are excited to see Alt Tech reach new milestones and bring its impactful solutions to a broader market.
