With the star athleteâs investment, Singapore-based TiNDLE managed to raise $30 million in its initial seed round. And itâs used the finances to offer its products in restaurants across the US.
Come 2022, London eateries will be able to join the lineup too.
Alli decided to help boost the brand since becoming interested in the plant-based industry a few years ago.
âThe connection to the future of food and the difference we can all make in our daily choices for the good of the planet whilst also enhancing our health and fitness is so importantâ, he said in a statement sent to PBN.
London is next âon the horizonâ for the company and CEO Andre Menezes said theyâre âthrilledâ to have Alli on board.
Alli and TiNDLE
Speaking to Forbes, Alli said TiNDLEâs chicken is âincredibleâ despite seeing it as a risky investment.
âThis product is something that is beneficial to the world and peopleâs healthâ, he added.
Despite this, the news outlet confirmed Alli is not vegan but says having a meat alternative âyou actually enjoyâ is crucial.
âYou always want to try and get that little extra percent in whether it be in your diet or your trainingâ, he added.
