Rebellyous<\/a>, a<\/span> startup that\u2019s striving to build \u201ca better chicken,\u201d has raised at least $20 million in fresh funding, TechCrunch has learned.<\/p>\n

Based in Seattle, the venture-backed company calls its production tech the \u201cmost advanced plant-based meat manufacturing system on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rebellyous<\/span> aims to raise as much as $30.7 million in total, according to a public regulatory filing<\/a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The report names previously announced backers YB Choi<\/a> of Cercano Management, angel investor Owen Gunden<\/a> and Mike Miller<\/a> of Liquid 2 Ventures among its directors. The filing indicates that at least 55 undisclosed investors chipped in on the latest round, but as usual the SEC disclosure leaves us wanting more.<\/p>\n

Reached for comment on the fundraise, Rebellyous <\/span>chief of staff Tina Meredith declined to share details on the startup\u2019s plan for the money. Still, the company\u2019s website<\/a> lays out efforts to build \u201cthe next-gen meat machine,\u201d dubbed Mock Two. Rebellyous calls its tech an alternative to factory farming, which it bluntly and justifiably<\/a> describes as \u201cfucking disgusting<\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The filing comes as some of the most prominent names in faux meat struggle to realize their overarching vision of disrupting big meat (which is more popular than ever in the U.S.<\/a>, per somewhat dated<\/a> reports).<\/p>\n

Impossible Foods could soon lay off 20%<\/a> of its staff, according to a January 30 Bloomberg report<\/a>. Likewise, Beyond Meat announced it would lay off 19% of its staff<\/a> in October amid reportedly<\/a> weak sales<\/a>. For early-stage startups such as Rebellyous, all eyes will be on profitability, differentiation and, as always, cost.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
