The lightbulb, the refrigerator, a man on the moon: there was once a time when the future was full of excitement. When innovation meant building a better tomorrow. It meant marveling at progress that would advance humanity (the collective good, the common good). SCiFi Foods is not the future we fear. It’s the future we dream of. We are making meat with the same taste, texture, and nutrition as conventional meat, but without any of the cruelty or cost to the planet. Our cultivated meat is something everyone can feel good about. Real beef, reinvented. The future is coming soon.

At Transfr, we’re on a mission to make learning more intuitive by helping individuals develop the skills they need for career success. What began as an idea quickly transformed into a movement; Transfr is built on the understanding that we must disrupt the status quo to create a more prosperous future. We believe the future starts with innovative workplace training and hands-on skills development. We’re building bridges between schools, workplaces, and governments to make jobs more accessible and create a better tomorrow, today. Join us. We produce job-training simulations in virtual reality (VR) designed by each industry that teaches novices in the same manner that experts master their crafts - through trial and error. Data-driven simulations work like virtual coaches, adapting to every person’s pace and skills while responding to their mistakes. Our immersive Experience Training method helps trainees build confidence in their knowledge, skills and abilities.

We dedicate ourselves to thinking deeply about the way humans do things—from personal rituals to whole systems of global production. We set out to make products that are good in every way they can be. We prioritize the health of our bodies and our planet, which leads us to dream up entirely new ways of doing things. And as we minimize the ecological effects of our products and packaging, we bring our reality closer to an ideal. Today, we make better—and more beautiful—toothpaste. Tomorrow, just wait and see.
