Hey there,

Our guest today on The Consumer VC is Justin Kolbeck, CEO of Wild Type. Wild Type is on a mission to create the cleanest most sustainable seafood on the planet, starting with salmon.

After I watched Seaspiracy, I wanted to learn more about the current state of the ocean and sustainable seafood alternatives to traditional fishing. I reached out to Justin on LinkedIn and in this conversation he does an amazing job of teaching me. In this episode, you’ll learn:

His mission and inspiration when founding a business
How the price of Wild Type’s fish compares to normal fish
The process for creating cell based foods
Why he decided to start with salmon
Fast feedback loops for testing product
Approach to fundraising

You can listen on Apple podcasts Here, Spotify Here, and other distribution channels.

Thank you for listening!

The Consumer VC: Venture Capital I B2C Startups I Commerce | Early-Stage Investing

The Consumer VC takes a look into early-stage consumer investing and venture capital. If you are interested in learning about consumer trends, have a b2c business and interested in learning about the fundraising process at the early stage, you have come to the right place.

Mike interviews some of the top venture capitalists in the world that focus on B2C and consumer type companies or have a deep track record investing in these categories such as marketplaces, SaaS, social, CPG and non-tech subscription.

Mike also interviews founders that are building some of the most disruptive consumer facing companies in the world. The conversation usually includes the insight the founder discovered, fundraising strategy, and the pitch.

This podcast also includes bonus episodes. Each bonus episode dives into a particular subject that might not have to due with the fundraise or venture capital, but still would be helpful to founders. For example, a bonus episode on brand strategy or how to construct a board of directors. All bonus episodes will be clearly labeled.
