BEFORE Brands Bags $35M For High Tech Baby Food

Menlo Park-based BEFORE Brands, a developer of dietary supplements aimed at infants, has raised $35M in a Series B funding, the company announced on Monday. The funding was led by Gurnet Point Capital. BEFORE Brands develops dietary supplements which contain protein and vitamins, which it says can help children avoid developing allergies to certain foods. As part of the funding, Christopher Viehbacher of Gurnet Capital (former CEO of Sanofi S.A.), and Greg Horn (CEO, Specialty Nutrition Group and former CEO of GNC Holdings and Garden of Life) will join the company's board.
