About us

EVERY™, based in Daly City, is a leading VC-backed food tech ingredient company using precision fermentation to create animal proteins without the animal for the global food and beverage industry.

EVERY™ is a team of passionate change makers who are reimagining the factory farm model with a kinder, more sustainable alternative.
