UMARO Foods is a brand that is committed to building a food system that supports a wild and thriving planet. Their mission starts in an unexpected place: the ocean. UMARO Foods is developing the most sustainable protein source on the planet, which is ocean-farmed seaweed.

With a growing team of dedicated individuals, UMARO Foods aims to create a food system that not only supports a thriving planet but also advocates for the humane treatment of animals. Led by CEO Beth Zotter, a technology entrepreneur with a background in renewable energy, the team includes CTO Amanda Stiles, a PhD plant biochemist, and Director of Business Operations Royal Sayewitz, a passionate advocate for a more sustainable food system. Protein Scientist Tim Arapov, a PhD microbiologist, brings his expertise in protein biochemistry and plant-microbe interactions to the team.

UMARO Foods conducts its protein product development in California's San Francisco Bay Area while partnering with the University of New Hampshire and Otherlab to advance seaweed farming in the Gulf of Maine. They believe that technology will pave the way for seaweed to become the world's most productive and planet-friendly source of protein. While they may not have job openings at the moment, UMARO Foods welcomes anyone interested in joining their mission.

As seen on Shark Tank, their plant-based bacon is available at outstanding restaurants across the country. To stay updated with their progress, sign up for their newsletter and follow them on Instagram. Join UMARO Foods in their quest to create a sustainable future
