Good Culture, an Irvine, CA-based certified B-Corp and clean-label cultured foods brand, closed a $64m Series C funding.

The round was led by Manna Tree, with participation from SEMCAP Food & Nutrition and celebrity investor Kristen Bell, a superfan of the brand.

This company intends to use the funds to continue to scale the business and innovate beyond its current product line to build a cultured foods platform.

Co-founded in 2015 by Jesse Merrill and Anders Eisner, Good Culture is dedicated to using real foods and simple ingredients across their growing portfolio of cultured foods including sleepy cottage cheese, as well as probiotic-rich sour cream and lactose-free sour cream.

This funding will serve to grow the team, expand awareness-driving marketing and enhance manufacturing, as well as provide liquidity to some early shareholders, including CAVU Venture Partners. In addition, Good Culture will drive innovative product development and plans to grow its offerings in nutrient dense, cultured foods.
