Time is NOT on your side, explains Helen Lin on the Conversations in Cleantech podcast by Brightsmith. It's what you're actually working against as a deep tech company trying to de-risk and scale up a new technology.

Congrats are in order for Patricia Bubner, PhD the fearless leader of Orbillion Bio as today they announce the acquisition by Fork & Good, Inc. As these two companies in cultivated meat 🥩 combine their global operations and fast-track the launch of their proteins, the result is a cost-effective B2B platform to offer red meat products to four major regions of the world. 🌍 Waiting a decade to find supply chain solutions to meat shortages and price hikes isn’t an option, as Green Queen reports. We need immediate fixes that can make our protein systems resilient to climate shocks and trade disputes. https://lnkd.in/eXjBbyWs Fork & Good offers "clean-label ingredients, supply chain stability, and local production" to food manufacturers and meat companies, said CEO Niyati Gupta.

Today Ravel is taking the stage at TechCrunch Disrupt's Startup Battlefield during the Built World's 1:30-3:00pm pitch session in the Expo Hall. Hear why Danaé Robert Johnson believes they are uniquely positioned to succeed at scaled recycling of blended textiles. (Hint: It's about price and quality.) She's on site this week at the event so send her a note if you're there as well and would like to connect. #startups #tech #SF #pitchcompetition

If you're a hardware startup and you're thinking about hiring your first operations resource...then you're probably late, says parichit kumar. As a hardware startup, you're constantly looking to optimize for time and for cost, right? But you shouldn't be thinking about this as a binary decision. You can bring on a fractional employee or a consultant, and you can focus on critical parts, but you need to have a qualified person in place to form that feedback loop between the supply chain and the manufacturability of the product and the design team that's actually designing the product. So you can actually end up with a product that can be scaled at cost. If you don't get the right person in time, you might end up with a product that's expensive, that's not manufacturable. And then you bring on someone who has to go fix it! That will take months of time and more money, and possibly to have to re-certify the entire product. Comment below if you've been in THAT boat...

More from the Australian AP about the "operating system" for batteries... Resulting in 20% more energy over battery cell lifetime, compared to conventional systems: https://lnkd.in/erJXkDhT

One of my favorite influencers is Anne-Marie Roerink, who quantitatively tracks trends in food sales. This month, she noted that refrigerated plant-based meat sales in the U.S. are essentially back to 2019 levels, before retailers started stocking these items in the fresh meat isle. We've essentially witnessed the rise and fall of a new retail category, in under 6 years. From 2019 to 2020, sales of these products nearly doubled, then 5 years later, all of those gains have been wiped out. The boom demonstrated that there's consumer interest in products that promise health and environmental benefits, but it's not a free pass. The guardrails of taste, texture, and of course, price, still apply. It may serve as a good framework for future category-defining products.

No, we didn't 👻 you. Just a belated October update from At One: 🃏 What the IRA rollbacks mean for climate tech, from Alisha Jani 🗓️ Conferences and summits and keynotes oh my...October/November events 🛸 Welcome Near Space Labs to the portfolio, plus news from the rest 💸 Hunker down on CapEx if that DOE grant isn't forthcoming, says Tony Moses

It's AGM season... which means concentrated time with our Limited Partners, providing updates on company and fund progress. It also means we get to show them IRL the products being made and sold by our companies, like 🏍️ EV motorcycles, 📦 biodegradable packaging, ✈ cargo drones, and ☕️ bean-free coffee. Thank you Roam, Cruz Foam, MightyFly and Prefer for being part of our "surprise & delight" this year. More to come!
