Our founders, Myra Arshad and Avneet Ghotra were named Forbes Top 30 Under 30, North America, for their achievements with ALT TEX 🎉 🚀 👏 This award is a true testament and celebration of the incredible determination and hard work of the ALT TEX team over the past several years. This past year has been the most challenging and simultaneously rewarding year for the ALT TEX team, where we buckled down to solve our largest challenge yet - scaling our food-to-fabric technology to get it into the hands of fashion brands. We worked worked relentlessly, overcoming our most difficult technical hurdles, from 100X scaleup of our fermentation system, to building out our polymer production supply chain. At the start of the year, we showed you ALT TEX fabric and the amazing garments it can create. This year, we’ve been able to take it out of the lab, reaching scales nearly ready for the racks. As we get ready to share more exciting updates in 2025, this award celebrates a year of quiet gruelling progress in the lab and ground-breaking advancements towards our goal of making fashion radically sustainable. Thank you Forbes for this recognition, and to the ALT TEX community for your continued support - lots of exciting updates to come in 2025 🚀

About us
ALT TEX is reimagining the uninventive and envrionmentally disastrous materials used in the fashion industry for decades. As the demand for fashion continues to grow, textile production cannot continue to happen at the cost of the planet. At ALT TEX, we believe the solution lies getting creative with the materials we already have, rather than manufacturing new ones.
