Perfect Day: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Perfect Day is a groundbreaking company that creates dairy proteins with the same nutritional value as cow's milk. They are leading the way in the development of animal-free dairy products that offer the same delicious taste, texture, and nutritional benefits as traditional dairy products, without any of the negative impacts on food safety, the environment, or animal welfare. By using proven techniques similar to those used in the production of beer or vegetarian rennet, Perfect Day provides consumers and food manufacturers with a sustainable and compassionate alternative to traditional dairy. Established in 2014 and based in Emeryville, California, Perfect Day is revolutionizing the dairy industry.

About FundedIQ's Perfect Day Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Perfect Day is left off this page rather than filled in.
