In a groundbreaking funding round, Uncommon has proudly raised $37 million, marking a significant leap forward in our mission to revolutionize the food industry with our innovative, sustainable cultivated meat. Powered by breakthrough technology, our vision is to offer a mouth-watering, affordable, and healthy protein alternative that redefines the meat landscape. Formerly known as Higher Steaks Ltd, we have transformed from a nimble start-up into a dynamic collective of over 50 creative scientists, engineers, and operators dedicated to a massive industry takeover. This latest capital infusion, backed by esteemed investors such as Balderton, Lowercarbon Capital, RedAlpine, Sam Altman (founder of OpenAI) and Max Altman alongside a supportive $1.2M Innovate UK grant from the UK government, will accelerate our scaling efforts and drive the advancement of our scalable production process. This innovative process is designed to eliminate the industry’s largest cost drivers without the need for genetic engineering, drastically reducing waste and enhancing consumer health at every step. With products like Uncommon Bacon and Uncommon Belly already capturing attention due to their incredible taste and nutritional benefits, this funding will enable us to further optimize production, expand our reach, and ultimately deliver on our promise of an uncommonly delicious future. By channeling these funds towards R&D, capacity expansion, and strategic market launches, we are paving the way to transform the way meat is produced and consumed. Join us on this exciting journey as we unleash a future where sustainable, high-quality protein becomes the new standard for a healthier planet and a tastier table.
