Were transforming the global food system by creating better ways to make meat, dairy and fish without using animals -- delicious, good for people, and good for the planet. Our approach: understand what people love about meat, dairy, and fish, and then explore the plant world for specific ingredients that recreate those experiences. In 2016, we launched the Impossible™ Burger: meat made from plants, for people who love to eat meat.
Founded in 2011 by Pat Brown MD, PhD (Stanford Professor Emeritus) and backed by top-tier VCs and visionaries, we’re looking for the very best scientists, engineers, food developers, and business professionals in the world to join our creative, diverse, multi-talented and mission-driven team. We’re here to secure a sustainable future (and have fun while doing it). Come work with us to change the course of history.

Garden City Companies is a purpose-driven, evergreen holding company that acquires & permanently holds family-owned service companies with $2-10M EBITDA. Think “the Berkshire Hathaway for small to mid-sized businesses”.
Our mission is to build a family of the most caring service companies in the world where all workers thrive, and have dignity and opportunity.
Our permanent equity, buyout model is very unique as we have no intent to ever sell our businesses, use minimal debt and keep the management team in place once we acquire. Instead of institutional investors, we raised $50M from only mission-aligned and value-add investors who are eager to come alongside to help grow our businesses via strategic introductions and counsel.
