*This Dialogue was conducted over Zoom, in recognition of the importance of safety and social distancing in the pandemic. *
In their own words,
*Thomas discussed how he came to the alternative protein space, the range of their products (diary, meat substitutes, dessert, and more), the poetry of developing a new protein that uses a fraction of the resources of standard protein production in the same space as Chicago's Union Stock Yards, the challenges and opportunities of the pandemic, their funding journey, and what is next. *
