No cow?
No problem.
We teach plants how to grow animal proteins
We use proprietary AI models and big data to modify plants to express proteins, simulating months of work into hours. The result is real functional proteins that give food the textures people expect. Our platform can produce any animal protein, from dairy to egg and meat. But we believe in focus so start with casein and will expand to the rest as we grow. Literally.
Everything begins on the computer, where we use custom AI to build the correct environment in the plant to express the casein the same way that the cow does. The system runs simulations, tests different sequences, and finds the best fit for plant expression. Once we’ve got the right structure, we introduce it into a potato, turning an ordinary crop into a protein-producing bioreactor. This approach lets us move quickly, get to a precise outcome, and skip years of trial and error.
We grow our 'bioreactor' potatoes in open fields. They contain micellar casein, the 'holy grail’ of dairy proteins. Potatoes are ideal for the job. It’s a common essential crop, their yield/land ratio is ideal, and since their protein expression already exists - it's the optimal platform to work with. Our first trials already show strong and repeatable protein expression, and because it’s a field-grown crop, scaling is as easy as planting more.
Once the potatoes are harvested, we extract the protein using existing and cheap standard processes. From there, the casein goes straight into the hands of dairy producers, ready to be used in cheese, yogurt, and more. Since it’s exactly like the cows’ – they can choose whether to simply fit it into the existing supply chain, or, develop new cowless dairy products for a better future.
