Plant-based food company Rebellyous Foods has raised $6 million in a series A funding round co-led by Clear Current Capital, Fifty Years, and Liquid 2 Ventures. Other funders include Agronomics and Vulcan Capital.
The latest funding round enables the company to continue to thrive amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “Bird flu, swine flu, and now COVID-19 demonstrate that keeping large numbers of animals in close contact with one another presents a tremendous risk for global health,” said Christie Lagally, Rebellyous founder and CEO, in a statement. “However, to transition away from our heavy dependence on meat, it’s critical that we make plant-based meat affordable and widely available through innovative production technology. At Rebellyous, our mission is to make plant-based meat that is better than animal meat in every way, from price and convenience to taste and nutrition.”
