Meatable Shuts Down as Funding Drought Deepens and Cultivated Meat Enters a New Phase
The Dutch cultivated meat startup Meatable has begun winding down its operations in December 2025 after failing to secure additional funding, dealing another blow to a sector already under pressure from a prolonged investment slowdown.

That’s eight months of feed, water and antibiotics, not to mention the space dedicated to industrial farming and the energy and resources needed to rear thousands of animals.

Why cultivated meat is about to have its Tesla Roadster moment
Almost everything we consider a great invention is, in fact, a series of great inventions. Take the electric car, which was dreamed up long before the gasoline engine, and had numerous rebirths and deaths throughout the 20th century, with a who’s who of great companies and inventors trying their hand at new prototypes. Unfortunately, its battery life remained too short and its top speed too slow to compete with the gas-guzzling competition.
