Our Approach
At Mission: Plant, we empower innovative plant-based and alternative protein companies with strategic guidance and outsourced management services, helping them navigate and thrive in this rapidly evolving market.
Our Expertise
We’ve spent a collective 50 years in this space, and have learned the nuances, pitfalls, and keys to success—both first-hand as entrepreneurs and through our work as consultants and investors.

When a product not only outperforms on taste, cost, and convenience, but is also quantifiably better for people, planet, and animals, the potential for positive change and profit is limitless.
