Our vision

The future of ingredients is evolving through accelerated discovery, not radical reinvention.

While consumers demand healthier, more sustainable options, they don't want to abandon what they love.

At Shiru, we're enhancing what people already love by upgrading the individual building blocks: natural proteins that improve both human wellness and planetary health.

Our approach

Shiru was founded in 2019 by Dr. Jasmin Hume to harness the power of AI and nature to create better, more sustainable ingredients in record time.

Our proprietary Flourish™ platform transforms traditional 5-15 year discovery timelines into just 1-2 years, without compromising our planet or the products people love.

What sets us apart is our uniquely specialized team bringing together experts in material science, protein chemistry, machine learning, and biomanufacturing.

This  powerful combination of expertise enables us to unlock natural, scalable solutions that enhance product functionality through the best nature has to offer.

Our Impact

We're transforming how companies create, source, and scale better ingredients across food, personal care, agriculture, and advanced materials - making healthier, more sustainable products accessible to everyone.

Our flagship innovation, OleoPro™, demonstrates how we're already delivering on this promise by providing structured fat alternatives that perform like animal fats while promoting sustainability.
