Ziliang Yang
杨梓梁
Ziliang Yang is the founder and CEO of CellX, a cultivated-meat company he started in 2020 after leaving BCG and dropping out of Wharton's MBA program to return to China . He also created Mourish, a consumer brand built on mycelium-fermented protein from native Chinese wild edible fungi — including what the company calls the first mycelium-protein beef jerky on the market . The name Mourish and the mycelium approach itself, which CellX began exploring around 2022, reflect Yang's view of fungi as a "beautiful metaphor" for rootedness and connection . Per a ZhenFund profile from mid-2025, his stated ambition is to get 10% of people eating this kind of future food first .
