Company mission
To make meat a force for good in the world.
38% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Upside Food, previously knowns as Memphis Meats, is actively addressing the growing societal demand for ethical meat production through the cultivation of its own meat products. The company's approach not only ensures delicious offerings but also contributes to improving animal welfare and reducing environmental impact in the food industry.
With a wide range of cultivated meat products that closely mimic their traditional counterparts, Upside Food is capitalizing on the rapidly expanding market for meat alternatives, which is experiencing a remarkable annual growth rate of approximately 36%. Although North America stands as the fastest-growing demographic in this domain, the global market for ethical meat is projected to surpass $8B by 2025.
By catering to the preferences of meat enthusiasts with diverse cultivated meat options, Upsaide Food effectively minimizes its carbon footprint compared to conventional meat producers.
