Quick Pitch:

Overview

We are developing proprietary tissue engineering technologies to produce high value, food grade animal protein (e.g. meat and hide) without the need to raise, slaughter and transport livestock. At scale, this enables lower costs and lower inputs of land, water, chemicals and fossil fuels. Our customers are first the leather industry (fashion, furniture, etc.) then the food industry with products that have near universal global consumer demand.
