Hey @CA_DMV, I’ve just had two of the worst customer service experiences of my life with your chat rep and now a phone rep. Just trying to get a DL renewal and your teams are woefully unhelpful and rude.
Excited to announce @ftwvc investment in @Izote_bio. The team's work to improve fermentation for more high-value, lower-cost and natural products in food, cosmetics and medicine will be good for business and good for the world! Go team!
Congrats to @Izote_bio!
@ftwvc is thrilled to support the team in scaling precision fermentation for food, cosmetics & medicine.

Izote’s strains & oxygen-free fermentation creates more high-value compounds, naturally, and with less resources.
