Impossible Foods IPO

Impossible Foods was founded in 2011 by Stanford biochemist Patrick Brown. In an interview from October 2019 during TechCrunch Disrupt, CEO Patrick Brown noted that he doesn’t see an IPO in the company’s near-term roadmap. These comments should not be interpreted to mean that the company is formally pursuing or foregoing an IPO.
