Finless Foods

Finless Foods is an Emeryville, California cellular-agriculture company founded in 2017 by Michael Selden and Brian Wyrwas to grow real seafood from fish cells instead of harvesting it from the ocean. Its scientists established proprietary marine cell lines and a culture-media and bioreactor process that cultivates bluefin tuna and other high-value species into three-dimensional tissue with comparable taste, texture and nutrition to wild-caught fish, and the company has also shipped a plant-based tuna alternative into foodservice while the cell-cultivated line moves toward regulatory clearance and commercial launch. Backed by SOSV/IndieBio and a USD 34 million Series B closed in March 2022, and now led by co-founder and CEO Brandon Chen with co-founder Brian Wyrwas as CSO, Finless Foods is a food-biotechnology and consumer-products business rather than a software vendor: it operates a single-page Squarespace marketing site with a Squarespace Commerce cart, publishes no developer portal, no API documentation and no machine-readable API contract, and its 2017-era GitHub organization holds one dormant static-HTML repository.

Finless Foods is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Cellular Agriculture, Cell-Cultured Seafood, Alternative Protein, and Food Technology.
