I doubt the headline is accurate as far a meat lovers go, but this was pretty amazing to read. Looking into the company further after reading the article, I found it’s still only in round B of series funding, so it’s not yet moved out of initial investment rounds and a ways off from making the initial public offering (IPO) stage. Pretty amazing they have done so much since beginning in 2016. According to CBInsights, to date they have a modest 56.1M invested in the company. The claim that “duckweed may become humanity’s first new major crop in more than a century,” seems farfetched but at the rate they are advancing the tech, quite possible if investment holds imho.
If it’s truly tasteless and dissolves completely in water, yet can bind like eggs, that opens up a huge range of applications. Really hope they’re able to scale up production.
