I was the largest investors in Beyond Meat prior to IPO and on board. Have also done investments in lab grown meat sector. Happy to chat.
Congrats to VU' portfolio company @grabango on $39M Series B. They have become the category leader in commercializing frictionless checkout at retailers using visual AI to grab and go.
