Willem van Eelen observed cell tissues grow through tissue culture techniques. He continued to think about the potential for meat production without the conventional raising and slaughtering of animals.[1]
Willem van Eelen entered partnerships to create the in vitro meat process, which were mostly unsuccessful, but paved the way for other companies.[1]

Google’s co-founder Sergey Brin’s family foundation, supported cost of research and event, worked with Mark Post on huge media event where first cultured hamburger would be tasted. Anon Essen, Sanne Verbrugge, and Ruud Theunissen were the lab technicians that did bench work to create first cultured beef hamburger.[2]
The first cell-cultured hamburger was cooked and tasted on live air in London, England, created by Mark Post at University of Maastricht. Dr. Mark Post burger was an important milestone in cellular agriculture because it showed the world that creating cultured meat was scientifically possible. It wasn't a question of scientific discovery, but rather an engineering problem.[2]
New Harvest provided Mark Post with $50,000 to conduct additional research towards completely animal-free system to growing cultured meat.[2]
