Lypid

Co-founded by Ph.D.s Jen-Yu Huang and Michelle Lee, Lypid uses its proprietary formula and processing method to develop PhytoFat™, vegan fats that accurately mimic the texture, mouthfeel, transfer of flavor, and cooking behavior of animal fats. Development of Lypid's product PhytoFat™ started after the co-founders' degrees from Cornell University and continued at the SOSV's IndieBio in San Francisco. PhytoFat™ has won Lypid 1st place in both the CPF Innovation Challenge at the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit 2021 and the Hello Tomorrow Challenge: Bayer's Crop Science Division.
