## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2019 by Joshua March (CEO), and Kasia Gora, SCiFi Foods LLC formerly known as Artemys Foods operates as a food and beverage company that utilizes a combination of cultivated meat and plant-based ingredients to develop innovative food products, specifically burgers, that taste of traditional beef. In June 2022, Artemys Inc. raised USD 22 million in series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz.

SCiFi Foods LLC is a meat alternatives producer that aims to provide ethical and environmentally friendly meat substitutes that eliminate any environmental or welfare issues relating to conventional meat production. Using cultivated meat and plant-based ingredients, the company creates a different wave of meat alternatives that closely replicate the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of meat, providing customers with a comparable sense of taste. The company overcomes the main challenges preventing the increasing popularity and pricing of cultivated meat in comparison to traditional meat by utilizing advanced biotechnology and tools such as CRISPR.

The company plans to use the June 2022 funding to hire additional talent and continue the company's substantial research and development efforts, along with new marketing strategies.
