Are there any private companies actually working on commercializing lab grown meat? Or is it still way too early for that? I'm much more bullish on lab grown meat - the company that can build that will be $100b+ company for sure.

Memphis Meats is one company I'm aware of that's working to commercialize cell cultured meats. I haven't really checked up on them since their demo day, but a cursory glance suggests that they seem to be going strong.

Just curious.. how can you be bullish about lab grown meat without knowing if any companies are involved in it? It may be a 100b+ company, or it may be that producing lab grown meat costs 100x as much and there is no way to reduce that. Have there been any initial figures? If so, why is no business capitalizing on it? This is mostly hypothetical but if you have a response I'd like to hear it.

  > it may be that producing lab grown meat costs 100x as much and there is no way to reduce that. This may or may not be true in the short term, but it seems unlikely to me in the long run. There are physical processes occurring inside the cow which don't require many resources. I can't see what would stop us from _eventually_ being able to mimic the key aspects of those processes and to do so somewhat efficiently. Of course, it may end up taking quite a long time to develop this capability.

Am an investor in both cell-cultured meat and plant-based meat. Personally I'm more bullish about plant-based meat, though cell-based is an important plan B

  How exactly do you become an investor in these? Could you elaborate or provide an email in your profile (temporarily, while I check often for a day or two) for further contact?
