Memphis Meats develops meat from cow and pig cells; raises $2M seed round
Cultured meat startup Memphis Meats raises $2M seed from SOS & New Crop Capital. They grow skeletal muscle from renewable cow & pig cells in bioreactor tanks. The meat can be harvested between 9 & 21 days. They aim for commercial availibility in 3-4 years. Their competitor Mosa Meat targets 4-5 years. Modern Meadow plans to sell cultured leather in 2-3 years.

Our concept is simple. Instead of farming animals to obtain their meat, why not farm the meat directly? To that end, we’re combining decades of experience in both the culinary and scientific fields to farm real meat cells—without the animals—in a process that is healthier, safer, and more sustainable than conventional animal agriculture. Our products are delicious, too: all are developed with recipes honed over a half century by award-winning chefs.
