Vegan brand Abott’s Butcher has just completed its Series A funding round led by Melitas Ventures with the participation of celebrity investors Owen Wilson and Woody and Laura Harrelson.

Celebrities help grow meat to the next level

It’s not just vegan meat that draws celebrity capital. Many celebrity investors are now looking to support the growth of cell farming, which aims to replace antiquated methods of animal husbandry with technology that only requires a few animal cells to produce an abundance of meat. It is a process that uses far fewer resources than traditional animal farming and eliminates the need to slaughter animals for food.

Actor and environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio has been a strong supporter of the vegan meat brand Beyond Meat and entered the cell-based meat business in September with an investment in Aleph Farms and Mosa Meat, two companies that grow beef directly from animal cells. This month, actor and investment guru Ashton Kutcher also got a head start on the cellular farming industry by investing in MeaTech, which 3D prints whole cuts of meat made from cells. such as structured beef, pork and chicken, as well as minced meat without animals. .

“One of the most effective ways to tackle the climate crisis is to transform our food system,” DiCaprio said in a statement about his investment. “Mosa Meat and Aleph Farms offer new ways to meet global demand for beef, while solving some of the most pressing problems in today’s industrial beef production. I am very happy to join them as an advisor and investor as they prepare to introduce farmed beef to consumers.
