History MeliBio was founded in 2020 by Darko Mandich and Aaron Schaller in Berkeley, California. The company uses plant science and precision fermentation to create a product molecularly identical to honey without the need for bees.

In March 2022, MeliBio raised $5.7 million in seed funding. The round was led by Astanor Ventures.

In March 2023, MeliBio launched Mellody, its plant-based honey product.

MeliBio was affected by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023, with up to 90% of the company's assets reportedly held at the bank.
