A foodtech company that began in Cork has raised a further $350 million to bring its lab-developed animal-free dairy products to market. This takes to $750 million the amount Perfect Day has secured in investment since participating in Sean O’Sullivan’s RebelBio accelerator programme in Cork city in 2015. San Francisco-headquartered Perfect Day has developed a synthetic product that uses bioengineered yeast which, through fermentation, produces a protein that is genetically identical to dairy protein.
