Participated · Equity · Oct 2018
Improved Nature makes shelf-stable, single-ingredient protein concentrate products that are activated by boiling in water and designed to mimic animal proteins in bite, texture, and taste. Its product lineup includes items such as Pork‑Free Cutlets, Beef‑Free Country‑Fried Steak, and BBQ Boneless Chicken‑Free Wings. The company was co‑founded in December 2015 by Richard Hawkins, Moshe Meidan, and partners from RDI Consulting. An initial $6 million corporate investment was used to buy equipment, commercialize the technology, and upfit the plant. The recent $3 million financing will fund expansion from a core team of seven senior managers, launch sales and marketing, add to senior management, and hire 10–15 employees. The company positions its technology for commercial markets to meet global demand for plant‑based proteins.
