About
SuperMeat develops cultivated chicken meat grown directly from animal cells in a sustainable and animal-friendly process, eliminating the need to raise and slaughter animals. The company mission is to bring the highest quality cultivated chicken meat to consumers worldwide, enhancing the food system by providing nutritional security, drastically reducing carbon emissions, and increasing food safety. SuperMeat operates The Chicken, a world-first farm-to-fork facility where visitors can watch cultivated meat production through a glass wall, observing the pilot plant where food engineers and chefs create cultivated meat meals under one roof. The company has published a forward-looking Life-Cycle Analysis demonstrating the environmental benefits of its production process and conducted an industry-first survey assessing US-based chefs sentiment on cultivated meat. SuperMeat focuses on cost-effective cultivated meat production, addressing the key challenge of scaling lab-grown meat to commercial viability. The company technology enables the production of real chicken meat without antibiotics, without the environmental impact of traditional poultry farming, and with significantly reduced land and water usage. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, SuperMeat has raised approximately $24.5 million in Series A funding from investors including Agronomics, New Crop Capital, Stray Dog Capital, PHW Group, Blue Horizon, CPT Capital, Starlight Ventures, Unovis Asset Management, and Sirius Venture Capital. The company employs approximately 45 people.
