In this conversation, Todd Boyman and I discuss:

  • how Hungry Planet got its start way back in 2004;

  • why Hungry Planet chose to start with chefs and food service first as an intentional product and go to market strategy for the company;

  • how the company is self-funded, which makes them look at the space in a different way and be patient and thoughtful about every move they make;

  • how his background as a tech entrepreneur and investor guided his thinking with Hungry Planet;

  • the challenge of bringing about price parity between plant-based meats and conventional meat;

  • differences between an investment and entrepreneurship philosophy for technology vs. the food industry;
