The Mushroom Meat Co. is a B2B startup that’s redefining nutrition by “moving mushrooms from supplements to center stage”. We believe that consumers are seeking a balance of health, craveability and sustainability. We call this “The Trifecta” and it underlies everything we do. We craft first-of-their-kind, award-winning menu items from mushrooms and whole plants. It’s not alternative protein, it’s superfood nutrition. Our MushroomMeat™ is made with real food ingredients, comes lightly seasoned and cooks up like traditional meat. It’s the perfect versatile ingredient; standing up to freezing, searing, roasting, stewing and slow cooking. Food service operators use these staples to create a variety of multicultural dishes. It’s high in fiber and low in fat + sodium, yet in taste tests chefs and consumers describe it as “the best [they’ve] ever tasted”. Our products are also vegan, keto friendly, gluten-free, soy-free and suit just about any diet. Let us help you transform your menu in an exciting, accessible and mouthwatering direction!

Walmart, CVS, Sam’s Club, and Sprouts Founded by Army veteran and 4th-gen farmer Ben Moore, Ugly is now scaling nationally with state-of-the-art processing and strong retail momentum. Were building more than a snack brand — were growing a movement. Interested in partnering, investing, or learning more? Let’s talk. → www.theuglyco.com

Our team—comprised of former elite military operators, including Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Army Rangers, and Marine Raiders—delivers elite cognitive performance coaching to law enforcement agencies across America.

Our Special Operations-inspired platform—developed by U.S. Special Operators and the sports psychologists who trained them—equips you to perform at your peak in high-pressure moments, build lasting resilience, and successfully navigate the challenges of a high-stress career.
