🥣 Halfway There - and Still Stirring Up Change

22 days passed. 22 days to go.
So far, 52 incredible backers from Hungary, Germany, Czechia, Switzerland, and Italy have joined the journey — helping us raise €2,602 of our €22,500 goal. It’s not what we dreamed of (yet), but every contribution reminds us: impact doesn’t start with millions — it starts with movement. 💚
🌍 What’s happened so far
In the past three weeks, we’ve been stirring up the upcycling conversation all across Europe. We kicked things off with an Upcycling Festival in Budapest, featured in Forbes Hungary, then took the mixing spoons to Vienna, where our workshops turned curiosity into connection.
Next stop: Berlin. On November 15, we’re hosting our Späti Porridge Party on Maybachufer. A daytime get-together with good vibes, beats, and bowls. If you’re in town, drop by for a dance, a chat, and a spoonful of change. 🥄
The Prague and Bucharest editions are in the works — because this movement doesn’t stop at borders.
🚀 A slower start, a smarter gear
After last year’s record-breaking campaign (30% in the first week!), this round feels different. Crossing borders means crossing algorithms, languages, and expectations. But if upcycling has taught us one thing, it’s how to turn challenges into new ingredients.
We’re shifting gears: focusing on those who seek meaningful experiences, one-of-a-kind products, and a real role in reshaping food. Because that’s what this campaign is about — not charity, but participation.
💚 What it really means to support this campaign
When you support this campaign, you’re not just buying porridges. You’re joining a launch team that’s revolutionizing the way food is made.
You’re one of the first to hold the new Secontaste upcycled porridges made from seed flours, veggie fibers, and cocoa husk that others overlook, but we turn into nourishment. You’re helping us prove that upcycling isn’t a trend, it’s a system shift.
Some of the rewards, like our Cozy Packs (only 7 left!) or the limited bowls and sweatshirts, exist only here - a small thank-you to the people who were there before the big shelves and supermarket aisles.
And when those porridges land in stores next year, you’ll be able to say something few can: 🗣️ “I was part of the team that made this happen.”
Because every backer here gives real ingredients a second life — and gives this movement a louder voice.
🫶 The honest part
This stage is not easy. To make the jump from prototype to product, we need to order packaging, ingredients, and gear in large volumes - there’s simply no other way. We’ve promised to deliver before Christmas, and we fully intend to keep that promise.
But for that, we need momentum - NOW. The kind that comes from people who believe that every bite can carry purpose.
So to our early supporters - THANK YOU.
You’re not just backers. You’re believers, testers, and change-makers.
And for those still on the fence - this is your moment to step in. Not just to buy, but to belong. To help us prove that upcycling isn’t niche - it’s the next normal.
Because this isn’t a call for charity - it’s an invitation to co-create the future of food.
