Mycoworks: which makes leather from mycelium. Will see products 2021.
Brightseed: uncovering the medicine that’s in our food. Uses AI to identify bioactive molecules found in common food crops that can regulate genetics associated with health. Imagine safe drugs that only take 24 months to get to market.
Atomo Coffee: Makes molecular without the coffee bean; made from sustainable agriculture side streams. Best coffee I’ve ever had.
Disclosure: These companies are in our portfolio so obviously on our watch list.
- slow_donkey 6y agoAre you able to comment at all about Indigo's products? Is it something people should keep an eye on? I've interviewed there before and it was difficult for me to understand if what they were doing was actually beneficial to farmers.
- say_it_as_it_is 6y agoIt took some time to figure out what Atomo was offering based on an unclear landing page. Alt-coffee is an important category and worth the investment.
- 1123581321 6y agoDid you click on the "To the Lab" link? I think that it would be a more informative homepage. But to explain the product, the current homepage just needs to add "Plant-based" before "Coffee without beans? It's molecular!" above the "To the Lab" link. Otherwise you might wonder what "Coffee without beans" must be made of.
- dehrmann 6y ago> Mycoworks How did they trademark "reishi," a mushroom variety, for what's essentially mushroom leather?
- rdlecler1 6y agoGood question, and hadn’t asked them this but I assume it’s like Apple, but in this case ReiShi is the name of a material.
