Gasolina Nutrition

Gasolina is a bootstrapped, self-funded venture backed by €300,000 from family support, with runway through March 2027. It plans angel funding at the end of 2026 and a seed round targeted for the end of Q1 2027, preferring private capital via UHNW networks to avoid VC dependency where possible. The current team includes a Werkstudent (20 hours/week), an intern starting in September for six months full-time, and a fractional head of performance marketing (10 hours/week) who is equity-compensated with minimal cash, while the founder runs most activities. Deutsch sprechen is a hard filter for the team and founders alike. The company has early connections with Felix Beyer and Elias (Vienna-based) for weekly shortlists, and while university quality signals are helpful, they are not mandatory; target schools include WHU, HSG, TUM, Mannheim, LSE, LBS, UCL, Erasmus Rotterdam, Frankfurt School, Maastricht, HHL, and Nova. In the long term, Gasolina pursues a diversified food and beverage portfolio across well-being and health niches and aims to become a European champion for longevity products with a high lifestyle factor.
