Day 8

Day 8 is an Israeli food technology company that has developed proprietary technology to extract Rubisco protein — often called the "holy grail" of plant-based proteins — from the leaves of harvested crops that would otherwise go to waste. The company produces a clean-label, allergen-free, single-ingredient protein powder with a near-perfect PDCAAS score and complete amino acid profile, offering food manufacturers a cost-effective, scalable alternative to soy, whey, and egg proteins across applications including sports nutrition, baking, and RTD beverages. Founded in 2023, Day 8 emerged from stealth with $750K in pre-seed funding and is positioned to help the food industry reduce dependency on volatile and environmentally costly traditional protein sources through upcycled, sustainable Rubisco extraction at industrial scale.
