How Cellcraft funded a £1.6m collaborative R&D project

The team at Cellcraft discovered Venturenomix while researching a suitable grant writing partner online. Venturenomix had the right blend of innovation funding expertise and knowledge of the cultivated meat domain where Cellcraft is a leading technology company.

About Cellcraft

Cellcraft® is a spin-out from the University of Cambridge founded by Yash Mishra and Clarisse Beurrier after discovering a joint passion for sustainable food as a solution to the environmental, health, and ethical challenges that we face. In collaboration with world-leading expert advisers, bioengineers, and scientists, Cellcraft is determined to harness the natural power of cells to create a clean, kind, and responsible way of producing meat.

Together We Solve

CellCraft had secured academic partners (UCL and the University of Cambridge) to form a strong consortium to apply for Innovate UK R&D grant funding. Venturenomix led the process of defining the project (problem, solution, current state-of-the-art, innovation, impact, work plan, budget). The full application was awarded funding to support the £1.6m project from Innovate UK through the Novel and Net-zero Innovation Fund.

Successful Outcomes

The grant funding enables CellCraft to work in partnership with leading UK academics in the field of cultivated meat production. The resulting bio-reactor will position CellCraft as one of the global leaders in this important and emerging sector.

“Our team at Cellcraft has been incredibly successful in securing equity finding based on our novel technologies in the cultivated meat production domain. We engaged with Venturenomix to achieve the same success in R&D grant funding – and we weren’t disappointed with the outcome!”
