Investing in impact? Find out who joins us on our path to rewrite the story of meat.
The story of meat. Rewritten.
To sustain, everyone knows we must change. But generally, change is hard. If sustainable plant-based proteins tasted more like animal meat, it would be a different story.
At Paleo, we offer that different story.
To offer change and make a difference
We team up with investors.
