## About

Founded in 2019 and based in California, US, Plonts is engaged in the production of plant-based cheese alternatives, aiming to provide sustainable dietary solutions. Nathaniel Chu and Josh Moser are the co-founders and co-CEOs of the company. In August 2024, Plonts raised USD 12 million in seed funding led by Lowercarbon Capital, including ACCELR8, Litani Ventures, Pillar Companies, and Ponderosa Ventures.

The company’s core product line consists of a variety of cheese substitutes that cater to vegan and health-conscious consumers, addressing the growing demand for environmentally friendly food choices. These products are intended for both individual consumers and commercial clients, including restaurants and grocery retailers, who are looking to expand their plant-based offerings. Plonts' cheeses are formulated to mimic the taste and texture of dairy cheese while providing a cruelty-free, lower environmental impact solution.
