## About

Based in Sydney, Australia, and founded in 2019, Vow Group Pty. Ltd. operates as a food technology company. Tim Noakesmith (CMO) and George Peppou (CEO) are the co-founders of the company. In January 2021, Vow Group Pty. Ltd. raised USD 6 million in seed funding led by new investor Square Peg, with participation from another new investor, Tenacious Ventures.

The company creates cultured copies of unusual exotic animal products and is driving innovation in the cell-based meat market. It is dedicated to employing cellular agriculture to grow tortoises, kangaroos, zebras, and yaks, unlike many other growing meat firms that are concentrating on developing steaks, poultry, and fish using the technology.

Vow plans to be able to push its kangaroo meat alternative to market by as soon as 2022, and pave the way for more unconventional cultivated meats in the future.
