Cell-based clean shrimp meat
We grow shrimp meat from cells in the lab instead of harvesting from animals or the ocean. This gives the same taste and texture without cruelty, antibiotics, or pollution. Our product is clean, sustainable seafood aimed at consumers who want delicious meats without harming the environment or animals.
We live and are based in Singapore, and will continue to be based here after YC.
Singapore is where seafood consumption is high and cellular agriculture expertise is growing. Being here puts us close to key markets in SE Asia and allows us to work with local government and research bodies that support food innovation.
