Cheese and dairy products from plant proteins

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We make cheese and other dairy products using proteins sourced from plants instead of animals. Our products aim to match traditional dairy on taste and price for people who won't compromise on either. We combine food science and novel protein sourcing to replicate dairy's texture and flavor without cows.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right mix of talent, innovation, and access to plant-based food markets. It's where we can build a strong product and find early customers.
