18 Innovative FoodTech Startups To Watch For In 2023

If you're looking for something a little more protein-heavy than the typical meat you're used to, there's a new company out there that's got you salivating.

It's called Vow, and it claims it can make "real and delicious meat from cells, instead of breeding and killing animals," per a press release.

That's a " logical and considerate alternative from which more people enjoy the highest quality meat," says a co-founder.

Vow has raised $49.2 million in funding from investors, including Google co-founder Sergey Brin, reports the Wall Street Journal.
