Israeli startup Nokku has raised $3 million in a round led by The Millennium Food-Tech R&D Partnership. The company, founded in 2019 by Omer Cohen (CEO) and Daniel Nemeth (CTO), counts the likes of Strauss, Tnuva, Azrieli.com, and L'Oreal Israel, among the CPG companies utilizing its data-driven D2C platform for managing, marketing, and sharing samples or trial products. Nokku provides an all-in-one direct-to-consumer platform that combines product sampling, market research, and loyalty tools, mostly for food, pharma, and cosmetic brands.
Millennium Food-Tech will invest a total of $1 million under the investment agreement, marking its eighth investment since its IPO on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange last year.
