What our Employees Say

LIZ G.

PEOPLE & OPERATIONS

I love being able to work with a diverse team – from food scientists to data scientists – on a problem we all collectively face: to ensure our food is more sustainable and equitable for all.

MELANIE L.

MICROBIOLOGY

We are challenged daily to work cross functionally to develop data-driven feedback loops. No one individual or team can do this alone – it takes data scientists, chemists, microbiologists, food scientists, product developers, and a commercial team to drive progress. Not only is the company growing because of this, we are all growing individually as well.

AVINASH P.

PROTEIN & TEXTURE

Developing healthier and more sustainable food is possible with a solid structural design approach. This is what I find to be so intriguing as I work with an extremely diverse scientific team at Climax Foods.

SKY P.

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

The company culture is one of my favorite things about working at Climax. While we are still an early-stage startup and things are in a state of flux around here, everyone is centered around our shared values for sustainability, compassion, and wellness.

RAPHAEL R.

DATA SCIENCE

What Climax Foods offers exceeded my expectations for a first job in a startup after grad school by far. The work flexibility and encouragement for finding creative solutions make it almost feel like working in an academic lab but with a clear goal in mind, in a highly collaborative manner, and with competitive compensations. It's been fantastic to work with all the talented, mission-aligned people with all sorts of backgrounds on our vision to replace animal products at large-scale.

PIERRE C.

COMMERCIALIZATION

Climax has a great, parent-friendly environment and culture, which allows me to focus on both my work and my family.

DEBI R.

LAB OPERATIONS

What I love most about working at Climax is the people. I’ve met some incredible people through this startup that have challenged my views and changed me for the better. I’m grateful for the incredible people I get to work with on a daily basis.

JEFF J.

DATA SCIENCE

This is one of those rare situations that’s good any way you look at it: good for people, good for animals, good for career building, good to be around kind people. Startups are inherently risky, but I like that because it means each person has a large potential positive impact.

TED H.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Climax Foods has such a diverse lineup of talented people and an exciting variety of flexible goals and responsibilities. After being here for a year, I'm still amazed at how much I learn and get to contribute every week. Working together with all of these wonderful to achieve the goals of this once tiny startup is one of the greatest experiences of my life.

KARTHIK S

DATA SCIENCE

I love working at Climax Foods – I get to work on the most crucial problem of our generation with a diverse, scientific team that is a joy to work with.

DANIEL W.

PROTEIN & TEXTURE

The destructive impact of animal agriculture on our planet cannot be overstated. So, I bring my mind, body, and soul to work every day as our team creates meaningful paths to a sustainable future.
