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.

It’s amazing to follow what David Tze is doing at Novonutrients. For those that aren’t aware but want to learn more, I highly recommend attending.
Sounds like an interesting session Adam Bergman. I’ll check it out!
Going to be a great and timely session, Adam Bergman! Looking forward to it
Looking forward to your session, Adam!
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
