## About Nature's Fynd

Nature's Fynd is a Chicago-based food-tech company that specializes in creating animal-free meat and dairy alternatives.

The company utilizes a unique nutritional fungi protein called FyTM, derived from a microbe discovered in Yellowstone National Park and optimized through NASA research. Nature's Fynd aims to nourish the growing global population while promoting environmental sustainability. The company produces a variety of products, including meatless breakfast patties and dairy-free cream cheese, all designed to be nutritious and delicious. FyTM is a complete protein source, containing all 20 amino acids, fiber, and low in fat, requiring significantly less water, land, and energy compared to traditional agriculture. Nature's Fynd's products are available in major grocery stores like Whole Foods and Sprouts, catering to consumers seeking vegan and sustainable food options. Founded by a team of explorers and scientists, Nature's Fynd has raised over $500 million in funding and continues to innovate in the food industry.
