Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

On spinning Plant Cell IP out of the university and the B2C trap - Mick Riley, Forever Harvest
Q: Why not pursue a direct to consumer model early on?
B2C was identified as a mistake due to the need for industry education and the high regulatory and logistical barriers, so the team pivoted to seek strategic partnerships and a platform approach to scale.
On spinning Plant Cell IP out of the university and the B2C trap - Mick Riley, Forever Harvest
Q: How did you get the IP out of the university and secure ownership?
There was no patent at first; ownership came through licensing a file of trade secrets and protocols, with a plan to transfer full ownership on the next round once the Institute completes the assignment.
€10M non-dilutive hack, surviving deep expert "grilling," & avoiding the CapEx trap- Georg Schaumann
Q: What convinced the investors about the agri-food tech potential?
It wasn't just claims about ag tech; it was presenting a disruptive technology in a big market with clear, credible detail and a robust validation path, including deep expert sessions that confirmed feasibility.
€10M non-dilutive hack, surviving deep expert "grilling," & avoiding the CapEx trap- Georg Schaumann
Q: Tell me, how did you guys meet your lead investor?
It started with outreach that didn't work well, but a chance barbecue introduction led to a meeting with people at the Heister Family Office; they connected us to HBJ and Capnamic, and the fit felt right in terms of mission and personality.
On securing paid POCs and why marketing claims are noise to a $7B corporate - Ziv Kohav, ICL Group
Q: What should startups prepare before approaching ICL about a licensing deal?
Startups should focus on real data, field trials, and strong statistical analysis that demonstrate strategic fit and feasibility, while minimizing marketing puffery; being prepared with clear information on the technology, regulatory considerations, and a proposed scope for exclusivity improves the chances of moving to a productive second meeting.
