Founded in 2020, the company has developed a patented ingredient called Advanced Casein, which offers nutritional, taste, and functional qualities equivalent to livestock-derived protein with significantly lower CO2 emissions and reduced water and land use 1. The company plans to launch commercially in the United States first, followed by Europe and Asia starting in late 2027 12.
