Aylon Steinhart
Aylon Steinhart is the co-founder and CEO at Eclipse Foods, a startup on a mission to create a more sustainable, healthy, and humane food system. Eclipse is building the future of dairy using micelles (the microscopic "magic" of milk) to create plant-based products that are indistinguishable from conventional dairy in taste, texture, and functionality. Eclipse has raised over $60M from investors including Y Combinator, the chairman of Beyond Meat, and the founder of Reddit, and has launched the first-ever plant-based milkshake offered at a national restaurant chain (Smashburger).
Prior to founding Eclipse, Aylon worked at the Good Food Institute, the leading non-profit in alternative proteins. There, he incubated dozens of startups and advised investors and strategic partners including Kraft Heinz, Kellogg's, and more on the alternative protein space.
