Aspyre Foods is a climate-focused biotech startup developing scalable, plant-based production systems for high-performance, animal-free proteins that function like traditional dairy ingredients. The company uses molecular farming and rapidly growing duckweed to produce proteins such as animal-free casein—critical for melt, stretch and texture in cheese—and Rubisco, a versatile, clean-label protein suitable for foods, beverages and nutraceuticals. Aspyre’s platform is designed to deliver affordable, nutritious, sustainable protein ingredients that help food producers overcome functional limitations of conventional plant proteins while reducing environmental impact. The company partners with brands, co-develops new products, and aims to unlock next-generation protein applications across global food and wellness markets.
