🌟 Celebrating Excellence! 🌟 Meati employees aren't just dedicated to bringing delicious, nutritious, mycelium-based protein into the world. Last weekend, Meati's own Zack Jacobson and Evan O'Connor showcased incredible dedication and resilience by completing the Ironman California competition in Sacramento! 🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️ Their journey from rigorous training to crossing the finish line is a testament to the hard work and perseverance that truly pay off. This achievement not only reflects their commitment to personal goals, but also inspires our team to push boundaries and strive for excellence in everything we do. Join us in congratulating Zack and Evan on this remarkable accomplishment! We are proud to have such motivated and determined individuals on our team - and a little extra proud that Zack represented Meati by sporting our Crispy socks! 🧦 Here’s to many more challenges conquered! 🎉💪 #Ironman #TeamSpirit #EmployeeSpotlight #Dedication #Inspiration #IronMeati

Our friends in the Southeast are still struggling to recover from the aftermath of the recent weather events. We would like to thank the support and enthusiasm of Jordan Daniels , Tristan Koolstra , and the others on our team who worked quickly to load up this truck in order to send 30,000 pounds of Meati to Feeding Tampa Bay . And we encourage you to help where you can as well. Donate to a trusted nonprofit, find a relief partner in the community to donate supplies to... every little bit helps! #HurricaneRelief #Teamwork #CommunitySupport

We had the incredible honor of being part of the UMass Alternative Protein Project’s first general body meeting on September 26th! 🎉 A huge shoutout to these talented students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst for their passion and dedication to promoting alternative proteins through this amazing initiative under the Good Food Institute. It was inspiring to see so many bright minds come together to explore sustainable food sources and the future of protein. 🙌 We’re thrilled to partner with you on the kickoff of this journey and can’t wait to see the positive impact you bring throughout the year! Thank you, UMass Alternative Protein Project, for welcoming Meati into your community. Here’s to a future filled with delicious, sustainable food options! 🌍💚 #AlternativeProteins #Sustainability #FoodInnovation #Meati #UMassAmherst

"At the heart of this is an incredible product and an incredible brand." These were sentiments shared by new board member Becky O'Grady while sitting down with Meati's VP of Marketing, Dawn Jacobs , during meati™ 's recent Fireside Chat. With her long history in the consumer packaged goods industry, Becky is the perfect person to help Meati reach its goals. And what drew her to Meati in the first place? "The promise of what we can do and what we can build." Becky, we can't think of a better person to build it with. Thanks for sharing your wisdom, and a few laughs, during our chat!

We're proud to be named to the Thrive Top 50 by SVG Ventures | THRIVE for solving some of our planet's biggest environmental challenges. We believe in our mission so much that we'd work this hard regardless of accolades, but it's an honor to be recognized among so many incredible companies. Check out the full list here! https://lnkd.in/gFH42dNn

Phil Graves goes deep with Elaine Watson from AgFunder to talk about the future of Meati, and why we're so bullish on mycelium: "[new CCO John P. Bortells ] says it best, that it's the perfect food, and it's been under our feet the whole time. We feel really good about our taste, nutritional profile, and the value of our products compared to existing alternatives."

As we introduce food from another kingdom to kitchen tables all over the world, we can't think of anyone better to join us on our mission. 🚀 Welcome to the team, John P. Bortells and Becky O'Grady ! We're so glad to have your collective expertise and passion for our mission.

We're honored that the City of Thornton, Colorado is home to Mega Ranch, where we produce all of Meati's products. We recently met with City of Thornton council members and representatives from the Thornton Office of Economic Development to talk about the value of sustainability, the future of food, and employment opportunities. We're all inspired about the impact we can make right here in Colorado. Grateful for the partnership, vision and trust!

Consumers are savvy. 62% read the nutrition labels on food now, according to the new Midyear Trends report from Datassential . We think they'll be pleased when they flip the box to find out what's in Meati. It's made of 95% mycelium, and only a few other familiar ingredients - and nothing you can't pronounce!

The work we do isn't always easy, but it's *always* rewarding. We are proud and humbled that Mega Ranch was named Sustainable Plant of the Year by Food Engineering. It's great to be recognized for our vision, commitment, creativity, passion and grit that went into developing Mega Ranch. We have incredibly high standards for our products and the environment - because we don't think they have to be mutually exclusive. Thank you to our very own Andrea Wombacher who spoke to Derrick Teal at Food Engineering Magazine about the magic behind Meati.
