Origins Aryé Elfenbein (a PhD cardiologist) in 2016. They started exploring funding possibilities in 2015, but after their applications for several government science grants yielded no results, they opted for venture capital instead. After raising a $3.5 million seed round in 2018, Wildtype launched its research and development. With that, Wildtype became the first start-up to be permitted to sell cultivated seafood in the United States, and a few days later, it was on the menu at the Kann restaurant of Gregory Gourdet in Portland, Oregon. == References ==
