De Novo Dairy: What do you know about precision fermentation?

In this episode of the ABCs podcast with Adrienne I talked with two of the co-founders of the startup De Novo Dairy based in Cape town, South Africa. They are out to revolutionize the dairy industry by producing nature identical dairy proteins using specially engineered yeast.

The foundation of their company is a combination of friendship, lifestyle choices and how to find/scale sustainable alternatives that alleviate the pressure on agriculture. We spoke about:

• the story behind De Novo Dairy
• considerations on building an efficient team
• skills required in bioentrepreneurship
• unique challenges in starting a biotech company in Africa
• trends currently having the most impact on biotech in Africa

and much more.
