Hoxton Farms: cultivated animal fat for meat alternatives

The company grows animal fat from cells, using machine learning, so that meat-free food tastes better, and it runs a 14,000 sq ft pilot facility.
Hoxton Farms has raised a total of $35m and planned a new funding round for early 2026. It has filed for market approval in Singapore for cultivated pork fat, with approval expected between late 2026 and early 2027. This is its third time on the Startups 100 Index.
