Planet A Foods ne yapar

Imagine a world without chocolate. Horrifying, right? But the supply of cocoa is endangered and chocolate is as bad as meat for our planet. We make future-proof chocolate using precision fermentation. Doing this, our chocolate is 10x more sustainable and 20% cheaper than conventional chocolate. In order to mimic the organoleptic properties of chocolate (tender, smoothly melting taste release) we are working on the flavor itself but also on replacing the cocoa butter. 55 Mio lbs of chocolate are consumed every day. By 2035 we will substitute a big chunk of it through our sustainable chocolate. In addition, we are working on extending our technology platform to additional ingredients such as palm oil.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We make sustainable chocolate using precision fermentation to replace cocoa and its butter, delivering chocolate that tastes and melts like the real thing while being more sustainable and cheaper than conventional options. We also plan to adapt our platform to produce other ingredients like palm oil.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Munich, Germany, and the company is based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Munich is where we started and built our team. It has strong biotech and food tech resources, and we want to remain here after YC to stay close to our network and labs.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, Planet A Foods şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, Planet A Foods'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. Planet A Foods gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
