Based in Berkeley, CA, UPSIDE Foods (formerly known as Memphis Meats) is developing a way to grow real meat, poultry and seafood directly from animal cells, without the need to raise and slaughter animals. These products are not vegetarian, plant-based or meat alternatives -- they are real meat, made without the animal. Founded as the world`s first cultivated meat company in 2015, UPSIDE Foods has achieved numerous industry-defining milestones, including being the first company to produce multiple species of meat (beef, chicken and duck). The company believes that people shouldn`t have to choose between the foods they love and a thriving planet, and is working to build a better food system where everybody has access to delicious, humane, and sustainable meat. UPSIDE Foods has won various industry awards, including New York Times` Good Tech Awards, FastCo`s Next Big Thing in Tech, and the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation by the National Association for Business Resources.
When W.K. Kellogg founded Kellogg Company in 1906, he had no way of knowing that his fledgling business would grow to become among the most recognized and respected companies in the world. All he knew was he wanted to help people enjoy a healthier, more nutritious breakfast — and he was determined to succeed. Although more than a century has passed and our product portfolio has expanded beyond breakfast, we have never lost sight of the principles put in place by our founder. Despite the ever more rapidly evolving landscape in which we compete today, Kellogg Company remains as committed to enriching the lives of our consumers worldwide. Our strategy is simple and is composed of four pillars: Win in Breakfast; Be a Global Snacks Powerhouse; Double our Emerging Market Engine; and Win Where the Shopper Shops. These pillars guide all that we do from the pursuit of acquisitions to the launch of new products. Underlying all these actions, however, remains our commitment to driving profitable growth. We invest in brand-building activities and innovation to increase sales and improve mix, we limit spending on overhead, and we increase profitability; it is this profitability that is then used to fund the cycle again. Our strategy and operating model are clear and they are driving focus and improved results. We are very proud of our company’s heritage, and are very excited about our potential.

Crowd Cow is a mission-driven startup founded in 2015 with the idea that the most important of food purchases – beef and other proteins – deserves to be associated with high-quality practices, total transparency, and close connection to the independent family farms producing the food. The Crowd Cow model isn`t the norm: In this country, 84% of beef comes from industrialized and factory processes that don`t benefit consumers, small-scale farmers or animals. Today, Crowd Cow offers the most convenient and direct way to purchase from independent and family-owned farms, giving American consumers access to a world of craft beef more diverse and flavorful than most people realize. We`re also creating opportunities for the very best independent producers to reach more customers and to showcase their unique traditions in ways never possible via the internet. Crowd Cow has raised significant investment and has been featured in leading publications including the New York Times, the TODAY Show, Food & Wine, Forbes, the Guardian and more. Crowd Cow allows people to discover and access the highest quality craft beef and meats from small, independent farms with an emphasis on unique flavors and high ethical standards. We are committed to discovering delicious meats and promoting the people who dedicate their lives to producing healthy, premium meat you can trust. Through Crowd Cow, you have a direct connection with the producer and a greater understanding of where your food comes from. At Crowd Cow, we believe craft meat should be enjoyed like wine, with an appreciation for the varieties and a deeper knowledge of the source of the food you consume. Following in the footsteps of other craft food movements, craft meats are full of different stories, flavors, and origins. Join the craft beef movement and learn more at crowdcow.com. We are now offering pasture-raised chicken, heritage pork, and Japanese Wagyu.
