The business was founded at the University of Cambridge by CEO Yash Mishra and Clarisse Beurrier, who connected over a shared interest in sustainable food solutions. Mishra has a Ph.D. in Bioelectronics and Tissue Engineering from the University of Cambridge, while Beurrier's Master's degree at the same university focused on software-driven cultured meat development. Both have contributed to the world's first textbook on cultivated meat.
Cellcraft's business model is designed to empower other companies to produce cultivated meat at a commercial scale without needing prior expertise or significant R&D investment. The company's technology facilitates a slaughter-free, low-carbon, and scalable method of meat production. By providing the necessary hardware, software, and raw materials, Cellcraft aims to help partners create a variety of meat products tailored to local tastes. The firm is headquartered in London, with operations in Cambridge, and has received venture capital backing and R&D grant funding.
