Sekilo
Sekilo is a Jakarta-based B2B company building an AI-powered halal protein supply chain for Indonesia's foodservice industry, starting with poultry. Formerly the quick-commerce grocery startup Dropezy (YC W22), it pivoted in 2023 to process and distribute chicken to caterers, restaurant chains, industrial buyers, and processed-meat factories. Sekilo unifies procurement, processing, cold chain, and delivery into a single asset-light operating layer, handling custom orders from 25kg for small caterers up to 10-20 tons for large buyers.
Butterball
Butterball is the largest producer of turkey products in the United States, selling more than 1 billion pounds of turkey a year from its headquarters in Garner, North Carolina. Jointly owned by Seaboard Corporation and Maxwell Farms, the company makes whole turkeys, turkey cuts, ground turkey, turkey bacon, sausage and deli meats for grocery, foodservice and export - and runs the Turkey Talk-Line, the Thanksgiving cooking hotline that has answered questions from anxious cooks every holiday season since 1981.
Tezza Foods
Tezza Foods makes the first dairy-free yogurt that goes spoon-for-spoon with Greek yogurt. By culturing and straining organic American-grown soymilk, the Oakland-based company turns whole soybeans into a thick, high-protein yogurt with the protein and probiotics of dairy Greek yogurt - plus fiber and omega-3s - using about 90% less land, water and emissions than dairy. Founded in 2019 by MIT-trained microbiome scientist Nathaniel Chu and Josh Moser, Tezza is a public benefit corporation built on the idea that the world's most nutritious and sustainable protein should be the one we all eat.
