Company
Current Foods
Impossible foods of seafood
We are making plant-based and biotech-produced seafood, starting with raw tuna and smoked salmon. Our products match the taste and health profile of real seafood without the variability and cost issues of fishing or aquaculture.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC.
San Francisco has the biotech and food tech ecosystem we need. It's where our expertise and potential partners are, and where we can hire the best talent for scaling both the plant and biotech aspects.
