Oobli (fka. Joywell Foods/MiraculeX)

Oobli is a food biotech company using precision fermentation to produce sweet proteins — naturally-occurring compounds found in rare tropical fruits that are up to 5,000x sweeter than sugar without spiking blood glucose. Founded by Dr. Jason Ryder and CEO Ali Wing, Oobli's platform enables CPG companies to reformulate existing foods and beverages to dramatically reduce added sugar without sacrificing taste. Oobli also sells direct-to-consumer chocolate products made with its sweet proteins. The company has received multiple FDA 'no questions' GRAS letters for its novel sweet protein ingredients.
