Meati, formerly known as Emergy Foods, is the producer of delicious animal-free, whole-food protein made from mushroom root.

Meati Foods is working to change the way we eat by democratizing access to delicious, nutrient-rich, complete protein in a way that protects and preserves our planet's water, land and air. 

Meati Foods was founded in 2016 by Tyler Huggins and Justin Whiteley. The company is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.

 

Meati created Eat Meati™, the debut product line that features cutlets and steaks made from mushroom root, a whole-food protein cultivated with a modernized version of ancient and natural processes that have helped preserve Earth's ecosystems for millennia.

 

Meati’s proprietary production processes coupled with its unique mushroom root create a nearly infinitely scalable platform. The Eat Meati™ product line is produced at the Mega Ranch and currently includes the Classic Cutlet, Crispy Cutlet, Classic Steak, and Carne Asada Steak.

 

Meati products have repeatedly sold out within minutes of being released online, and consumers have continued to embrace Meati products through the company’s retail and foodservice partners, including Sprouts Farmers Market, Sweetgreen, and Birdcall.

 

Meati is backed by Revolution Growth, U.S. Department of Energy, CPP Investments, Wellington Management, Rockefeller Capital, BOND, Acre Venture Partners, Prelude Ventures, Grosvenor Food & AgTech, Congruent Ventures, Tao Capital, Cultivate Next, and others. The company raised its oversubscribed Series C round of an undisclosed amount on Jan 26, 2023. This follows a $150M Series C in Jul 2022. Meati has raised a total of $278.6M in funding to date.
