Soylent was created by software engineer Rob Rhinehart in 2013 as a way to get all the nutrients needed by the body without the time, money, and effort that usually goes into preparing food. Soylent is headquartered in Los Angeles with production facilties in California and Colorado. We are constantly exploring new opportunities to further the cutting edge of health and biological research.
Soylent launched a crowdfunding campaign in May 2013 on CrowdTilt with the goal of raising $100,000. As of March 2014, this campaign raised over $3 million. Additionally, Soylent closed a $1.5 million seed round from investors, including Andreessen Horowitz and Lerer Ventures in October 2013.
