Description
There are a handful of professional, highly skilled investors specializing in alternative proteins with deep subject matter expertise and familiarity with the competitive landscape, ideal partners, scaling challenges, etc. These investors should be leveraged to educate the broader investment community through coalitions, syndicated deals, and co-investments with industry-agnostic investors. Further, these investors should collaboratively spearhead efforts to promote and facilitate later-stage funding like debt and inventory financing. An industry organization could help facilitate this collaboration.
