BIOMILQ
Cell-cultured human milk
How does it work?
BIOMILQ is committed to creating an infant nutrition alternative that's closer to the nutrition of breast milk so all parents can feel confident and empowered in nourishing their most-precious person on the planet!
Why is it needed?
According to BIOMILQ's website: "We're fed up with feeling guilty about how we feed our babies. We're closing the nutritional gap between infant feeding options. Cow's milk is for baby cows, human milk is for baby humans. Parents already make so many trade offs, why should they compromise on early nutrition? Our product can shift demand away from dairy by providing a more sustainable option.??"
How does it improve life?
The company is women-owned, science-led, and mother-centered. BIOMILQ is on a mission to nourish healthier babies, empower parents through choice and contribute to a healthier planet. In June 2020, the company raised $3.5M in it's seed round, backed by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Blue Horizon Ventures, Purple Orange Ventures, and Shazi Visram. And in 2021, they successfully produced the world’s first cell-cultured human milk outside of the breast.
