I think Anteater is an interesting company. Unfortunately I never got round to actually talking to them, despite working in the same building a few times.
It seems that their business model is to target high end restaurants and work down from there. Their product is more of a garnish than an actual food.
They really need to work on their website too.
- chriselles 8y agoAdmittedly I was quite biased and kept asking about the palatable protein powder. They’ve had success with high end restaurants like Roots. Not sure how big a market it is. Agreed that garnish is a good way of describing it. Accessory rather than core.
- chriselles 8y agoSome good folks on the team. Two founders still in it. They won slots on the last Edmund Hillary Fellowship cohort. Profitable industrial scaling of insect protein and any other nutrients/byproducts will be interesting to watch. Particularly any insect bioengineered for food/chemical manufacturing. But I suspect NZ will NOT be the place for genetic engineering of insects.
