Opalia (previously BetterMilk) (Accelerator)

Company Description: Opalia is one of the first companies to develop a process for making whole milk outside the body. Opalia's proprietary technology allows for the production of whole milk that has all the properties of traditional cow milk, without the cow. Opalia's process involves collecting mammary cells from cow milk, selecting the most proliferative cells, immortalizing them, and using their proprietary platform to make milk efficiently outside of the body. Through their proprietary platform, they have developed a cell line that grows without the use of expensive growth factors or fetal bovine serum, and can produce milk without lactation hormones. In only a year, these achievements have allowed them to reduce the price of our process by 98%. This is an unprecedented feat in the industry. ur process has the potential to offer a low-cost, scalable alternative to traditional dairy farming.
