This Week's TECHtalk
Since it's Thanksgiving, we're going to talk about food tech this week and, unfortunately,
investment in food tech is down as a whole for the industry. The overall number for
investment value in food tech companies, which includes everything from plant-based
products to grocery tech, are down 63%. Everybody has an opinion on what's causing this downtown. Some believe that the previous generation of food tech investors didn’t conduct
enough due diligence on the actual product and others believe the general macroeconomic
downturn is to blame. But it's not all gloom and doom, Meati Foods recently landed $150 million for its mushroom root-based meat. Sustainability is the name of the game these days.
If food tech can make a product as tasty as their mission is important, success will
surely follow.
