Tomorrow Inc.
Tomorrow Inc. designs taste proteins—engineered proteins built from the same 20 natural amino acids found in the human body—that activate taste receptors to simulate flavors like sugar, salt, and cream. Its first product, TomorrowSweet™, delivers a sugar-like sweetness with zero calories and zero glycemic impact, and is currently used in Lion Hydration's drink sold nationally at Walmart.

Problem
Food and beverage brands face a persistent trade-off between taste and health: conventional sugar adds calories and glycemic load, while artificial sweeteners and plant-derived alternatives introduce off-notes, aftertastes, or ingredient labels that increasingly worry consumers. This forces brands to choose between products consumers love and formulations they feel good about.
Solution
Tomorrow Inc. designs taste proteins—engineered proteins built from the same 20 natural amino acids that make up every protein in the human body—that activate taste receptors to simulate desired flavors. The company's first product, TomorrowSweet™, delivers a sugar-like sweetness profile with zero calories, zero glycemic impact, and no aftertaste, while being fully digested as a protein. TomorrowSweet™ also masks bitter notes in formulations, allowing brands to reduce or eliminate masking agents. The company offers additional proteins in development—TomorrowSalt™, TomorrowCream™, TomorrowSpicy™, TomorrowCooling™, and TomorrowMagic™—as well as a custom protein design service where brands describe a target taste and receive a made-to-spec protein within weeks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are food and beverage brands across categories including sparkling water, ice cream, chocolate, coffee, tea, protein shakes, and candy, as well as CPG companies seeking clean-label, zero-sugar sweetening solutions.
