Founder’s Associate - Finance, Operations, HR

KULT FARM makes a true and natural alternative to meat from mycelium solid state fermentation. As a venture-backed business, we are pioneering this approach.

Our mission 🐠 is to foster the world’s transition to a sustainable food system- without asking consumers to compromise on taste, texture, or price.

Our planet 🌎 cannot sustain our current food system; therefore, we believe in producing exceptional alternative products to remove the current strain on our environment and ensure food security for our future ever-growing population.

We are looking for you to lead various commercial, financial and operational topics that drive forward the growth of the company.
