SCiFi Foods

SCiFi Foods develops lab-grown meat substitutes using cell-cultured technology, offering various meat substitute products including steaks, meat patties, and meatballs for food businesses. The company focuses on producing cultivated meat products that replicate the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of conventional meat without the environmental impact of animal agriculture, targeting food service and retail channels. SCiFi Foods differentiates itself in the cultivated meat space through its approach to producing structured whole-cut meat products rather than ground or minced alternatives, addressing the technical challenge of creating complex meat textures through cellular agriculture. The company operates in the food tech and alternative protein sector, part of the broader movement toward sustainable protein production that reduces land use, water consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional livestock farming. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Leandro, California, SCiFi Foods has raised $29 million in a Series A round backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Valor Equity Partners, Prelude Ventures, BoxGroup, Entree Capital, FJ Labs, CPT Capital, Alumni Ventures, Climate Capital, 7percent Ventures, Richmond View Ventures, New Climate Ventures, Beni Venture Capital, Correlation Ventures, Pactolus Ventures, and Unovis Asset Management.
