Company mission
Re-imagining meat for an uncompromising and unconscious generation.
53% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Plant-based meat substitutes have become increasingly prevalent in recent years, but interest in lab-grown meats have lagged behind. Gourmey aims to rectify this by developing sustainable, restaurant-quality cultivated meats.
Gourmey sets itself apart from rival labs by focusing on premium poultry products such as foie gras, and marketing mostly towards chefs. This has attracted considerable media attention from publications such as the New York Times, which has proven hugely beneficial for their branding.
Gourmey plans to develop its premium products into products for the mass market, which will be vital if the company is to scale. However, the company will have to gain regulatory approval before its products hit the shelves.
