Value proposition

By making carbon-negative body-positive vegan meat, we extend life on the planet.

Planetarians turns food security into a profitable business with 10x cheaper than beef alternatives, and you can join it!

TLDR: Our patented technology transforms unavoidable sidestreams of food and beverage industries into a clean, nutritious, and delicious source of protein.

Narrowing down food to first principles, we come to the question - where do we get the nutrients?

Regardless of how you make food - plant-based, via animal agriculture, or growing cells in reactors - you need ingredients.

Population is growing. The land is limited.
So, where can we get initial nutrients?!

This is the question we asked ourselves 8 years ago.

Looking at the food system from the helicopter view - we noticed that 1/3 of all grown crops are discarded one way or another.

Imagine you want an orange... You have to peel it.
Where does a peel go?- Landfill, composting, animal feed...

For us, it was the untapped source of nutrients.
It accounts for 1/3 of all crops grown...

But how can we eat that?
This is the challenge we jumped.

We thought that if we could unlock nutrients from it for human consumption - we could feed 50% more people on the planet without the need to grow more crops.

It took longer than we expected, but with our better-for-you protein, we proved that it was feasible:
- it has more protein than beef
- it’s a quality protein with 82% PDCAAS
- and it has a shape of versatile whole cuts

We narrowed our formula down to 2 whole ingredients - spent yeast - a side stream of beer fermentation, and spent beans - dry matter left after soybeans were pressed for vegetable oil.

We simplified the texturization process to 2 minutes and $5m line to get 500 tons per month of better-for-you protein at 1/10 of the beef cost.

To make it everywhere - we partnered with world-leading beer company AB InBev (supply, investor) and Clextral (equipment).

Selling in US schools, we know people like it - 72% acceptance rate!
And business is profitable even at low prices the government pays
