Israeli startup Redefine Meats works on 3D printers for artificial, plant-based meat. A recent $6M funding round was led by CPT Capital, the venture capital arm of Jeremy Collers single family office.
Startup in a $130 billion industry
According to Redefine Meat’s website, the meat alternative market is expected to reach $140 billion in annual sales by 2030. The Israeli startup wants to “introduce a technological platform to develop, launch and scale the next generation of Alt-Meat”. Products of the company are aimed to produce vegetarian meat which resembles traditional meat. Redefine Meat was founded in 2019 by Eshchar Ben-Shitrit. About the achievements of the company so-far, Ben-Shitrit says: “We have already successfully printed great products for multiple foodie events, and over the coming 12 months, we will take the technology to the next level where we expect to make a huge impact on the meat market and the future of our planet.”
