Well we are far from selling meat, but unlike the other clean meat companies we will tell you why and what we are currently working on, with the hope that you can help us move forward.
Timeline for LabMeatNow’s MooPeep Meat
Phase 1: Proof of Concept (Year 2025)
• Objective: Develop and validate the foundation for a first cost-effective cultured meat production sample.
• Milestone 1: Replace expensive FBS with chicken serum or other low-cost alternatives, such as egg yolk or unconventional media components.
• Milestone 2: Test feasibility for simpler applications like pet food, focusing on lower taste and safety complexity compared to human consumption.
• Milestone 3: Cultivate the first tissue sample and present it alongside the living animal to demonstrate viability and attract initial investors.
Phase 2: Investment and Media Optimization (Year 2026)
• Objective: Secure funding and develop scalable, mass-producible growth media.
• Milestone 4: Raise a seed round of investments based on proof that we can strongly reduce cost. The seed round presentation will include minced chicken meat next to a healthy and happy chicken from which the original small cell sample was taken.
• Milestone 5: Recreate serum-free media inspired by current industry leaders’ solutions.
• Milestone 6: Identify and substitute the most expensive components in current animal-free growth medium with cost-effective, in-house solutions.
Phase 3: Miniature Factory and Scaling Feasibility (Year 2027)
• Objective: Build and test systems for scaling cultured meat production.
• Milestone 7: Construct a prototype miniature factory to model industrial-scale production.
• Milestone 8: Analyze factory complexity and operational costs to refine processes for mass production.
• Milestone 9: Iterate on findings to develop a commercially viable, scalable production system.
Phase 4: Pre-Market Trials (Year 2028)
• Objective: Finalize product for market introduction.
• Milestone 10: Conduct pre-market trials for both pet food and other low entry-barrier markets.
• Milestone 12: Scale factory operations for commercial batches.
Phase 5: Run Productions and Develop Meat for Human Consumption (Year 2029+)
• Objective: Transition from pilot-scale production to full-scale operations and expand into products for human consumption.
• Milestone 13: Launch mass production of cultivated meat for the pet food market to generate revenue and refine processes.
• Milestone 14: Optimize tissue growth and scaffolding techniques for structured meat suitable for human consumption.
• Milestone 15: Develop flavor, texture, and nutritional profiles to meet consumer expectations for human-grade products.
• Milestone 16: Begin full-scale production of cultivated meat for human consumption, targeting niche markets initially.
• Milestone 17: Expand distribution and partnerships with super market chains to bring products to a broader audience.
