Also, this will be powerful and important tech, it shouldn’t be restricted to a walled garden. This funding will go towards improving and maintaining OpenHands (https://lnkd.in/gcNzTt5a), our flagship, MIT-licensed AI software developer. It can fix bugs, make improvements, write tests, etc..

It's incredible to reflect on how just a few years ago, attending Harvard Business School was merely a dream. Fast forward five years, and not only did I have the chance to study there, but I also had the privilege of participating in Mike Toffel podcast! Thank you for the wonderful invitation and for allowing me to share more about our work at GALY. Together, let's save the planet, one cell at a time. Hard work pays off, always.
Did you know that agriculture contributes to about 20% of the world’s greenhouse emissions? The Climate Rising podcast episode features GALY's founder and CEO Luciano Bueno, discussing his company’s lab-grown cotton that can decarbonize textiles and medical products. Luciano shares how his upbringing in Brazil, interest in textiles, entrepreneurship, and climate change led him to found and grow GALY to a Series B company. He reflects on the future of lab-grown technologies and climate tech entrepreneurship. https://lnkd.in/ejryrmbK
