Redefine Meat One Step Closer To Selling 3D Alt-Meat Worldwide After Raising $29M

Israel-based food startup Redefine Meat announced Tuesday that it raised $29 million and the company will use the proceeds to finance its commercial launch and international growth.

What Happened: Redefine Meat leverages 3D printing technologies to print high-quality, sustainable plant-based meat products.

In January, the company held the world's largest blind taste test and said it found a 90% acceptance rate among meat eaters.

Redefine Meat is on a mission to prove that delicious meat doesn't have to come from animals. Backed by the world's first-ever industrial 3D Alt-Meat printer, the company said it's ready to conquer the Israeli market after signing a strategic agreement with a local meat distributor, Best Meister.
