CULT Food Science

CULT Food Science is a Vancouver-based company that acts as both an investor and brand developer for cellular agriculture companies. It was founded in 1983 and states it is the first company from its industry to be publicly traded in North America. Its common shares were approved to be traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange in January 2022.

The company leverages its brand development to find companies for its investment portfolio. When developing a brand, it is usually a product, such as pet food. CULT Food Sciences seeks partnerships with other companies that are using cellular agriculture to produce their own products that could be used in CULT Food Science's new brands and products. The company is seeking to work with companies that use business models that allow them to be sustainable and ethical in the way they develop and distribute products.

CULT Food Science has developed two cell-based brands: Zero Coffee and Free Candy. The coffee is a canned sparkling coffee beverage that uses cell-based products. The company uses cell-based products to combat the challenges that normally come with creating coffee products, such as unsustainable land use to farm the coffee beans.

Free Candy is a performance product in the form of a gummy. It is produced with cell-based collagen rather than the industry norm of harvesting collagen from animals.

CULT Food Science has also developed a sustainable pet food brand called Noochies!. This brand uses cultivated protein products to create cat treats and dog food.

The other portion of CULT Food Science is an investing arm. It focuses on investing in early-stage cellular agriculture companies. The company provides equity for its portfolio companies and also works with them to develop their brands.

CULT Food Service invests in companies that are developing various products using cellular agriculture technology. Products include:

• cultured proteins
• cultured meats
• cultured coffee
• cultured dairy
• sustainable honey
• food technology solutions
