The CU Boulder Connection
Within months of beginning to collaboratively research mushroom root (mycelium) together as CU Boulder PhD students, Tyler Huggins (Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering) and Justin Whiteley (Mechanical Engineering) knew they had a nature-based tool for taking on many global issues. They decided to start a company that would guide fungi’s miraculous biotechnological power toward efficiently meeting humanity’s needs. When their deeper investigation of crafting protein from mushroom roots crossed paths with growing public alarm about the food system, they founded Emergy in 2015, now Eat Meati™, a company that provides delicious, nutritious and Earth-friendly nutrition to everyone. The core technology behind Meati Foods’ products involves mycelium-based fermentation to create meat alternatives. This technology was developed, in part, during their time as researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder.
