## About

Based in California, US, and established in 2020 by Maricel Saenz who is also the company's chief executive officer (CEO), Compound Foods engages in producing beanless coffee using synthetic techniques with a primary focus on promoting sustainability. In August 2021, Compound Foods received investment from investors including Collaborative Fund, Humboldt Fund, and Lowercarbon Capital.

The company produces beanless coffee through food science and fermentation technology that uses microbes to create a coffee with sweeter tones, flavors, and aromas. Compound Foods uses synthetic techniques since coffee is the fifth-most polluting crop in the value chain.

Following the investment in August 2021, Compound Foods will partner with its investors to improve the formulation and further accelerate the brand which will be launch by the end of the year.
