Our goal is to make cultivated meat the affordable and sustainable choice, for everyone.
Multus is pioneering the design and production of the key ingredients required to accelerate the affordable scale-up of cellular agriculture. Our technology provides a truly sustainable alternative to today’s global dependence on traditional animal farming.
We see Multus and our products as the foundation of the growing cellular agriculture sector.
With time, our work will enable the affordable at-scale production of real animal products – including meat, dairy, leather and more – using cells instead of animals.
When adopted, our technology will help reduce the carbon emissions, biodiversity loss and animal suffering across the globe.
We are a diverse team of innovators, techies, makers, go-getters and foodies. Our team is at the heart of the global sustainable protein transition, driven by desire to make cultivated 'animal' products a part of our everyday life.
Cai Linton has an MEng in Molecular Bioengineering from Imperial College London and combines technical knowledge in tissue engineering & data science with management experience. While at Imperial College, Cai led projects in stem cell biology and growth media optimisation, and took courses in managerial economics and innovation management from the Imperial College Business School. Cai has also gained executive education in Inclusive Leadership from Diversily, Negotiation & Leadership from Harvard Law School and led Multus through numerous start-up programmes, including SOSV IndieBioNY, McKinsey Venture Academy and the EIT Food Accelerator Network.
