NotCo

AI-driven plant-based meat and dairy producer

Overview

NotCo uses AI to design plant-based foods that mimic animal products. Its lineup includes NOTMilk, NOTChicken Patties, and NOTBurger, made from 100% plant ingredients. The AI chef Giuseppe engineers flavor and texture to replicate familiar animal-based profiles, enabling rapid product development. Revenue comes from selling through NotCo's website, Amazon, and retailers; the goal is to provide sustainable, tasty alternatives that reduce reliance on animal farming.
