What business model makes sense for cultivated meat when scaling? Particularly when funding from venture capital isn't guaranteed.

The answer lies in collaboration with other stakeholders, particularly larger food companies, according to Mihir Pershad, CEO of Umami Bioworks.

“Our view is that startups cannot be in the capex business. Instead, we need to figure out where we can tap into expertise, capital and muscle from existing industry and use that to help us scale however we can.”
