The company, Impossible Foods, wants to bring fake meat to the masses. Founded in 2011, the startup now supplies meatless products to more than 1,500 restaurants in the United States. After years of experiments, he says he successfully invented a plant-based "meat" in 2011 -- and Impossible Foods was born. To date, Impossible Foods has raised more than $400 million in funding from investors including Google Ventures and Bill Gates. Beyond Meat, which is also backed by Gates, produces plant-based meat alternatives made of pea protein.
