Israeli cell-grown meat start-up Aleph Farms has secured $11.65m in a funding round led by VisVires New Protein. By growing cell-based meat in clean bio-farm facilities using cow cells, the company aims to create real meat cuts with the same texture and taste, without harming animals or the environment. The injection of capital will allow Aleph Farms to accelerate product development of its slaughter-free meat and to transform Alephs prototype (released last December) into a commercial product. . The new company, which is based on an idea from its founder Amit Goffer, will use cells harvested from cows that are not used for food but instead as part of research into cancer treatment. The latest capital will allow Aleph to accelerate its product development and launch into the commercial market.
