There have been a lot of questions about the viability of alternatives protein as demand for plant-based proteins plateaued over the past few years. However, we are seeing the emergence of a new generation of alternative protein companies, which will be spotlighted during the 4th Fermentation-Enabled Alternative Protein Summit taking place in San Francisco on February 13th, 14th & 15th. If you want to learn more about precision and biomass fermentation, I recommend you attend the Summit, where I will be speaking on the “Crunching the Money: Demonstrating a Path to Profitability to Overcome a Challenging Macroeconomic Environment Across All Stages” investment panel, along with Alice Brooks, Khosla Ventures; Yaqi G., Lever VC; Tom Shields, AgFunder; and Matt Spence, Barclays. The panel will be moderated by David Tze, NovoNutrients Our panel with cover the following topics: · How investors benchmark alternative protein companies when assessing potential investments · Articulating the value proposition of your alternative protein to secure funding through all stages of development using effective techno-economic modeling · Navigating the current macroeconomic climate to achieve the market potential of alternative proteins Fermentation is expected to grow significantly, but companies are pursuing different strategics: · Internal production vs. outsourced production · Ingredients (B-to-B) vs. finished products (B-to-C) It remains to be seen which strategies are more effective and whether these companies will be able to have more success than many of the plant-based protein companies that came before them. https://lnkd.in/gxkDk7nX Brittany Chibe Patrick Westfall Isabella Iglesias-Musachio Irina Gerry Steve Matzke Anne Marie Butler Augusto Desuque Sarah Ham Adam Leman Ph.D. Andrea Schoen Tamir Tuller Aaron M.

A bold undertaking, Adam Bergman! - "Crunching the Money: Demonstrating a Path to Profitability..." in a mtg about fermentation-enabled alt protein. No doubt you will pin down someone who will help us understand how these economics work, or, could work. ;)
we are excited to hear this panel and see our colleagues and friends next week! Ryan Hawkins
