Animal Alternative, which presented today at TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield, is the brainchild of two Cambridge grads who repeatedly encountered each other during their studies in biotech there.

They decided to start a company to pursue a new, data-heavy approach that could make cultured meat production as much a software problem as a hardware one.
