TurtleTree Labs
Making ‘clean milk’ and cultured milk products using cell-based methods.
TurtleTree Labs is a Singapore-based startup addressing the value gap created by an insufficient and unsustainable animal-based dairy industry. The company has created patent-protected technologies to make full-composition, full-functionality, full-flavor milk referencing humanely selected dairy cow cells then mimicking the natural process of milk production in the lab, essentially making real milk without the pollution, inefficient use of land, water and energy (natural resources), pathogen and disease risk, and tangled regulatory politics. The product will be 95% less resource consumptive. TurtleTree will own the technologies that make the milk, leveraging and enabling its IP across global regions and manufacturers. Principal revenue streams include licensing, enablement consulting, and royalties. Additional revenue may include branded consumer products distributed regionally by global dairy companies.
