Overview

Eclipse Foods is building the future of dairy using micelles (the microscopic magic of milk.) Eclipse has developed the world's first plant-based dairy platform which makes plant-based products with the taste, texture, and functionality of conventional dairy.

We are transforming the $500B dairy industry and have raised over $60M from leading investors such as Y Combinator, the chairman of Beyond Meat, the founder of Reddit, the creator of Gmail, Forerunner Ventures, Sozo Ventures, Initialized Capital, and more.

Our mission is to create a more sustainable, healthy, and humane food system by making plant-based foods that require no sacrifice.
