I didn't think salaries were in there, not if you look at the number of people who seem to be on the team. I was actually taking from point of view of the advise from Indigogo, which is to ask a fraction of the amount, meaning they would need much more.
- mjuul 12y agoHi. I'm one of the team members. We are all volunteers and all work is being done at community laboratories with very low fees. Many of our reagents are donated and all work is being immediately published under free culture licenses or as public domain. You are both right about the cost. This campaign will fund us enough to show proof of concept (world's first real vegan cheese). A larger sum will be needed to get stable high levels of expression and scale everything up into a financially viable food-safe production facility.
- webhat 12y agoThanks for reacting. I've shared it to my vegan friends as I think this is a great idea. I've always thought the current soy curd based vegan cheeses required a reboot. Reagent was the word I was groping for. :)
