East Just Inc., a company that creates alternatives to animal products, recently announced it has secured $97 million in new funding for its cultivated meat sector.
The additional funding is on top of the initial $170 million in funding that was announced in May. The company also announced in the same press release that former USDA Secretary Dan Glickman will serve on its advisory board, and Jim Borel, former executive vice president of DuPont, will join its board of directors.
“I’m proud to see our company take the next step toward building large-scale cultivated meat production. This investment, along with the guidance of Secretary Glickman and Jim Borel, puts us in a position to execute our plans in multiple regions around the world,” said Josh Tetrick, co-founder and CEO of Eat Just.
