Rebellyous Foods Secures $2.4M to Revolutionize Plant-Based Meat Production

Rebellyous Foods, a pioneering company in the plant-based meat industry, has recently secured an additional $2.4 million in funding to further its mission of making sustainable meat alternatives affordable and accessible. This latest investment is an extension of the company’s Series B round, which initially raised $9.5 million in 2023.

At the core of Rebellyous Foods’ strategy is the innovative Mock 2 system, a fully automated production line designed to revolutionize plant-based food production. Unlike traditional batch processes, the Mock 2 system employs a continuous manufacturing model, incorporating key components such as a progressive hydrator and emulsification system, integrated temperature control, and automated recipe management. This setup ensures precise hydration, emulsification, and ingredient mixing, allowing for consistent output with minimal human intervention.

“The Mock 2 system redefines plant-based food production,” said Christie Lagally, Founder & CEO of Rebellyous Foods. “By focusing on affordability and scalability, we’re not just creating plant-based chicken—we’re creating the means to produce it efficiently at the scale needed to replace traditional meat.”

The Mock 2 system’s energy-efficient design significantly reduces production costs by eliminating the need for chilled working environments and using internal cooling mechanisms at the equipment level. This innovation minimizes labor-intensive processes, optimizes resource use, and lowers energy consumption, making sustainable production more achievable.

Rebellyous Foods, founded in 2017 by former Boeing engineer Christie Lagally, aims to provide the plant-based meat industry with the tools needed to radically increase production capacity while dramatically lowering costs for high-quality plant-based meat. The company’s main offerings include a variety of nuggets, patties, and tenders designed to replicate the taste and texture of traditional chicken products, serving the retail, foodservice, and educational sectors.

The recent funding will be used to drive 2025 sales growth and further research and development on the Mock 2 technology. Rebellyous Foods is partnering with RMS Foods at a state-of-the-art facility in New Mexico to deploy the Mock 2 system, which can produce a wide range of plant-based meat products at volumes of 2,500 to 5,000 pounds per hour on a single processing line.

This strategic partnership and the additional funding underscore Rebellyous Foods’ commitment to making plant-based meat alternatives competitive with traditional chicken products in terms of price and quality. The company’s innovative approach and cutting-edge technology position it as a leader in the plant-based meat industry, poised to transform the way sustainable meat alternatives are produced and consumed.
