We think food should be delicious and sustainable. Shiru uses precision fermentation to make ingredients for plant-based foods. 🌱

A remarkable week for food: #cultivatedmeat meat approved in the US, #foodsustainability at #COP27, the world passing 8B people to nourish. We're #grateful to work alongside others in transforming our food system.

With so many op/eds about the end of #altmeat, we asked @WarrenBuffett for his sage thoughts. He said: “Look at the fundamentals.”

Well, we didn’t really ask Mr. Buffett, but that's his answer to most things, so here's our look at alt-meat fundamentals. https://t.co/WJFJMXh9Td

It may seem counterintuitive, but "brewing" plant proteins in fermentation tanks is more nature-friendly than extracting the protein from real plants. Swati Choudhary, Shiru’s Head of Strain Engineering, explains why. https://t.co/OTBZaf9sjc

"If you focus on the long-term sustainability vision and what you're doing together, it's hugely motivating for building a cohesive team." -@jasminhume on company culture in the #foodtech space

[Shiru @shiruinc]

"We've come a long way for equality in the workplace, but let's acknowledge that less than 2% of VC funding goes to female-founded companies."

[Shiru @shiruinc]

"Don't make compromises when you're hiring people... To achieve a quorum of people who are mission-aligned, who respect one another, and who can disagree productively — that doesn't happen by accident."

#plantbased @Doritos, please!

[Jared Adams @jared_adams613]

Getting plant-based options into products where dairy-based proteins currently are, but where the consumer might not notice the difference, is an opportunity, says @jasminhume, mentioning Doritos and Kraft Mac & Cheese as examples. #PlantForward

[Shiru @shiruinc]

@jasminhume sees plenty of whitespace for innovation in the plant-based food industry. #altproteins #foodtech #precisionfermentation

“The solutions that don’t utilize technology in food have already been done… and we wouldn’t be here today if they worked.” - Jasmin Hume of Shiru, at Plant Forward @proteinindcan @pulsecanada 🇨🇦

[Shiru @shiruinc]

"We can already discover novel, delicious ingredients at the speed of software. If we want to engineer food at the speed of software, we'll need to partner with manufacturers to build highly flexible, dynamic, 'open-source' fermentation platforms." https://t.co/9PQSLwLtFh
