Hoxton Farms

Hoxton Farms develops lab-grown animal fat as a sustainable ingredient for the food industry, combining tissue culture systems with mathematical modeling and AI. The company grows animal fat in bioreactors to produce cruelty-free, sustainable fat substitutes that enhance the taste and texture of plant-based and cultivated meat products. Its Lattice platform leverages AI for biomanufacturing optimization, and the company has open-sourced AI models including BrightQuant and LipiQuant for biomanufacturing applications. By addressing the critical gap in fat ingredients for alternative proteins, Hoxton Farms differentiates itself through its interdisciplinary approach merging biology, computational modeling, and food science. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, the company has raised approximately $25.7 million at the Series A stage, backed by investors including Founders Fund, Presight Capital, CPT Capital, Systemiq Capital, AgFunder, and Fine Structure Ventures.
