Daisy Lab develops dairy-identical proteins via precision fermentation, focusing on microbial whey protein and ongoing research into caseins. The company says its technology can produce high-quality, cow-free dairy that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and water use. It plans to scale up production of its microbial whey protein using proceeds from the recent seed round. Daisy Lab positions itself alongside category players such as Perfect Day and Remilk. The founding team is all-female and includes co-founders Irina Miller (CEO), Emily McIsaac (Operations Manager), and Dr. Nikki Freed (Chief Science Officer). The company recently appointed Leon Clement, an industry veteran, as board chair to provide strategic guidance. The team emphasizes collaboration with the food industry to accelerate commercialization and transformation of the food system.
