UPSIDE Foods was founded in 2015 by Uma Valeti and William Clem. According to the Motley Fool, as of December 2023, “The food technology company likely won't complete an IPO anytime soon. It's still an early-stage company that received approvals from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to sell its cultivated chicken products in 2023.” UPSIDE Foods has not publicly endorsed a plan to participate in an IPO.
