#175 - Wildtype: Seafood Without Fishing or Fish Farming
Description
Wildtype is a cultivated seafood brand on a mission to create the most sustainable seafood on earth, starting with their highly anticipated sushi-grade salmon. Aryé Elfenbein, a cardiologist, and Justin Kolbeck, a former U.S. diplomat, set out to protect our planet’s wilderness, and to reverse trends of global food insecurity. Using cellular agriculture techniques, Wildtype will provide consumers with a new option for real seafood that provides the same nutritional benefits as the most pristine wild-caught fish, without common contaminants such as mercury, microplastics, antibiotics, or pesticides and without relying on commercial fishing or fish farming. Wildtype is the first and only cultivated seafood brand to raise $100 million in Series B funding with high-profile investors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downing Jr., and Jeff Bezos.
