Upside Foods receives 400 Million Dollar Investment

These are very early days in what is going to be the biggest transformation of how we consume food since the beginning of the agriculture period for humanity. No companies have gone public yet but there are lots that are getting funding from venture capitalists. Originally called Memphis Meats, Upside Foods has been around since 2016. They have recently been awarded funding of 400 million dollars from Tyson, Cargill and Givaudan to help them bring cell-based foods to market.

"We're really excited about partners like this who can help us ultimately accelerate the path to commercialization. I think for us, our mission at the company is really about making our favorite food a force for good, and we can only do that and have the impact that we want when we grow to a scale that's meaningful."
