Reinventing the Egg: The Yumgo Journey
Yumgo, a French startup founded in 2019 by Anne Vincent and Rodolphe Landemaine, is on a mission to revolutionize the way we think about eggs. With a unique name derived from “Yummy” and “Tamago” (the Japanese word for egg), Yumgo offers a complete range of plant-based egg alternatives designed for professional use in both sweet and savory recipes. As Vincent explains, “The idea for Yumgo came from a simple observation: we need to change our eating habits. Eggs, the most widely consumed animal protein in the world, are irreplaceable, so what can we do? That’s how the idea of Yumgo came.”
Addressing the Problem: Sustainable Eating
Eggs are a staple in many diets, yet they come with significant environmental and ethical concerns. Yumgo addresses this issue head-on by providing allergen-free, plant-based egg replacements that boast a carbon impact 70% lower than traditional eggs. “Yumgo is today the reference in professional egg replacement,” says Landemaine. The startup’s products include whole eggs, egg yolks, and egg whites in both liquid and powder formats, ensuring versatility and ease of use for culinary professionals.
A Unique Solution and Value Proposition
What sets Yumgo apart from its competitors is its dedication to providing a product that doesn’t compromise on taste or performance. As Landemaine puts it, “Yumgo offers culinary performance similar to that of eggs, with equivalent deliciousness.” This commitment to quality has made Yumgo a trusted name among premium restaurants and industrial food producers.
Growth Strategy and Future Plans
Yumgo’s growth strategy involves expanding its customer base and continuing to innovate. The team, based in Paris, is dedicated to developing new products and increasing brand awareness. “We will develop more products and enhance brand awareness compared to our competitors,” Landemaine notes. Participating in events like SIAL Startup Invest is a key part of this strategy, providing opportunities to boost the brand and generate leads.
Looking Ahead: Expectations from SIAL Startup Invest

Vincent emphasizes the importance of such events, stating, “To boost our brand and to participate in these big events to get leads.” The team is looking forward to meeting potential investors, customers, and partners, all while showcasing their innovative products.
