Cosaic (Cultivated Biosciences)

Bachtobelstrasse 5, Horgen, Zurich, 8810, Switzerland

Overview

Cosaic develops a new category of food ingredients using yeast fermentation to provide creaminess, stability and functional performance in one ingredient, aiming to reduce reliance on multiple components and additives. The company positions its platform to help food and beverage manufacturers address formulation trade-offs between clean label, sensory performance, and cost. Cosaic employs 15 people and is in a pre-Series A stage, preparing for U.S. market entry next year. Its recent partnership with Ingredion and strategic investment from dsm-firmenich Ventures serve as commercial and strategic validation. The startup plans to use recent funding to complete regulatory work, scale production, and run industrial trials with large clients as it moves toward launch readiness.
