Back in 2013, cultivated meat had a moment.
Mark Post, a co-founder of one of the earliest entrants into the field, Mosa Meat, showed off the very first burger made with meat developed in a lab instead of being raised on a farm. Interestingly, this project, which took place at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, was staffed by Daan Luining as a research assistant, as well as Professor Mark Post. In the end, Post went on to found Mosa Meat and a few years later, Luining founded Meatable. The burger came with a price tag north of $300,000 and a prediction: The cultivated burger would be a consumer product within 10 years, at the vastly more reasonable price of $10.
