The EVERY Company

What The EVERY Company does

The EVERY Company is a precision fermentation company that produces animal-free egg white proteins using engineered yeast and fungal hosts (Saccharomyces, Pichia, Trichoderma, Aspergillus) as cell factories. Originally founded as Clara Foods around 2014 and rebranded in October 2021, the company sells two FDA-approved ingredient products to food and beverage manufacturers: OvoPro™, a functional recombinant ovalbumin that replicates the binding, gelling, foaming, and whipping properties of conventional eggs for baked goods, frozen and prepared foods, pasta, and protein bars; and OvoBoost™, a highly soluble, taste- and texture-neutral protein designed for fortifying beverages (coffees, juices, sodas, syrups) and baked goods at 5g of protein per ounce with zero sugar. Both products are Kosher, Halal, and Vegan Society certified, shelf-stable for 18–24 months, and decoupled from avian flu, salmonella, and livestock-feed supply volatility.

The company operates as a B2B ingredient platform with quote-based, negotiated per-purchase-order pricing and metric-ton-scale recurring orders. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales (recently reinforced by the appointment of a first CRO), national mass-market retail placement at Walmart and Target, a direct-to-consumer repackaging partnership with Healthier Comforts on Amazon, foodservice showcases (Eleven Madison Park, Earthbar), and strategic multinational integrations with Grupo Nutresa, Grupo Palacios, and Unilever's Vegetarian Butcher brand. Manufacturing is executed via a strategic partnership with Huvepharma (Biovet AD in Bulgaria), providing 9,000,000L of installed fermentation capacity — a 4x expansion announced in June 2026 to meet surging demand. Additional production capacity is in development via a 4-million-liter planned facility in Abu Dhabi with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and Vivici.

The business model centers on B2B bulk ingredient sales, supplemented by consumer product licensing through DTC partners, government grant funding (notably a $2M US Department of Defense award), and a $55M Series D close in November 2025 led by McWin Capital Partners. Cumulative disclosed funding exceeds $296M across multiple rounds, with the CFO mandate explicitly including IPO readiness. The company's IP estate includes foundational US Patent 12,096,784 (Sept 2024), EU Patent 4017287 (Dec 2024), and additional grants in Finland, Germany, Denmark, Great Britain, and Mexico, supporting a claimed 7+ year head start over the nearest competitor in bio-equivalent egg protein.

Core offering

The EVERY Company produces and sells animal-free egg protein ingredients manufactured via precision fermentation using engineered yeast. Its two flagship products are OvoPro™ (recombinant ovalbumin — a functional egg white protein replicating the binding, gelling, foaming, and whipping properties of conventional eggs for baked goods, prepared foods, pasta, and protein bars) and OvoBoost™ (a highly soluble, neutral-tasting protein for fortifying beverages and foods at 5g protein per ounce with zero sugar). Both products are FDA-approved, vegan-certified, Kosher, and Halal, and are sold in bulk to food and beverage manufacturers.

Product overview

The EVERY Company operates as a focused B2B ingredient platform built around a core precision fermentation technology that produces two distinct animal-free protein ingredients: OvoPro™ (a functional egg white/ovalbumin protein) and OvoBoost™ (a highly soluble neutral protein for fortification). The portfolio architecture centers on a single manufacturing platform (precision fermentation using engineered yeast) that yields multiple specialized protein products targeted at different application use cases — OvoPro™ for replacing the binding, gelling, foaming, and whipping functionality of eggs in baking and prepared foods, and OvoBoost™ for adding protein content to beverages and other foods without altering flavor or texture. Both products are FDA-approved and sold exclusively to food and beverage manufacturers (B2B) and select consumer repackaging partners, with no direct-to-consumer retail channel except via third-party repackagers like Healthier Comforts.
