Atlast brings innovation to the food industry by cultivating a process: One that has been running our forests for millions of years. This new agricultural technology is powered by mycelium, and not only promises a delicious and healthy future, but a solution to our current meat production problems. It is our mission to bring you delicious, planet-friendly foods, rooted in nature. Atlast`s focus is on creating whole cut plant-based meats like bacon and steak. We are both a B2B partner providing our mycelium super ingredient as well as a B2C company launching bacon as our first product this fall.
RUNA was founded in 2009, days after we graduated from college. But our story begins several years earlier, when Tyler was living with the Kichwa people in the Ecuadorian Amazon. It was then he was introduced to guayusa – a naturally caffeinated tree leaf brewed like tea, consumed early in the morning to help interpret dreams and late at night to provide energy and clarity while hunting in the jungle. He loved the earthy flavor, smooth taste, and energy boost he got from the leaf. Living and working in Latin and South America, we both saw how unsustainable activities like logging were enticing ways for people living in the rainforest to pay for education and medicine. We also saw how development projects implemented by NGOs often floundered because they lacked buy-in from local stakeholders.

We are a group of farmers, cooks, and food professionals who couldn`t find what we wanted in the food system, so we are building it ourselves from the ground up, animal-by-animal, plant-by-plant, meal-by-meal. A truly transparent, regenerative supply chain for the future. That is our Venture, we are the Cooks.
