Sugarlogix, whose mission is to create functional sugars with health benefits, is a bioengineering company that makes human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) for infant nutrition. HMOs are the fiber-equivalents in human breast milk that play crucial prebiotic functions in babies` guts. Sugarlogix` novel HMO-producing technologies offer safe and affordable HMOs for babies without access to breast milk. Founded in 2016 and led by Co-Founder and CEO Chaeyoung Shin, Sugarlogix is headquartered in Oakland and is financially backed by 8VC, Berkeley Catalyst Fund, and SOSV and private investors.

We started Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in the Spring of 2008 out of a buttery yellow truck on the streets of NYC. We set out to revive the classic ice cream truck and the art of traditional ice cream making, using ingredients perfected by nature not science. Van Leeuwen Classic and Vegan ice creams are made with just a handful of fresh ingredients. Each flavor is a celebration of some of the worlds best artisan producers and farmers.
We love meat. However, the way conventional meat is produced today creates challenges for the environment, animal welfare and human health. With global consumers spending nearly $1 trillion per year on meat, and demand for meat expected to double in the coming decades, one thing is clear: we need a better way to feed a hungry world. That`s why we started Memphis Meats. Our goal is simple: to change the way meat gets to your plate. We`re developing a way to produce real meat from animal cells, without the need to feed, breed and slaughter actual animals. We expect our products to be better for the environment (requiring up to 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions, land and water than conventionally-produced meat), the animals and public health. And most importantly, they`re delicious. With our home-base in the San Francisco Bay Area, we`re combining the innovative spirit of Silicon Valley and the rich food traditions of the American south to provide a better meat and world.
