    The Part Listeners Didn't Skip -What Happens When Your Startup Grows Faster Than Your Mission? - from our conversation with the co-founder of Notpla, Rodrigo García

    What happens when your startup grows faster than your mission? For Rodrigo García, co-founder of Notpla, the answer is not as simple as “scale faster.”When you’re trying to replace plastic with seaweed-based packaging, ambition isn’t enough. You need to reinvent entire systems, change how people think about waste, and balance speed with integrity. In this short episode, we explore the tension that every mission-led startup eventually faces:How do you stay true to your values while scaling impact? Rodrigo shares what they’ve learned along the way.From navigating investor expectations to redefining product success. In 8 minutes, we dive into the messy middle of building something that matters.

    He Wanted to Start a Farm. Instead, He Builds a Tool to Transform 1,000 of Them - With co-founder of Collie, Daniel Reisman

    To revolutionize farming we need a solution that will change the life of farmers. That’s exactly what Daniel Reisman set out to do. After leaving behind a career in sales and a plan to start his own farm, Daniel co-founded Collie, a startup that’s rethinking livestock management with virtual fencing technology. By replacing physical fences with sound and vibration signals, Collie helps farmers move cows with an app—saving hours of labor, improving soil health, and making regenerative practices more practical. In this episode of Tomorrow’s Bites, Daniel shares the story of Collie’s beginnings, from scrappy prototypes strapped to cows’ necks to convincing skeptical farmers that the system really works. We explore: Why Daniel traded his dream of farming for food system innovationHow virtual fencing saves farmers time and unlocks regenerative grazingThe biggest lessons (and mistakes) from building agri-tech hardwareWhy trust is the biggest barrier for farm adoptionHow Collie plans to expand from the Netherlands to farms across Europe And much more... 🙏 LEAVE A REVIEW  If you like our podcast please leave us a review on your favourite platform – even one sentence helps!

    The Part Listeners Didn't Skip: They Launched A Food App in 6 Months With Just a WhatsApp Group - from our conversation with Co-Founder of Olio App, Tessa Clarke

    How do you validate a startup idea without spending a cent on tech? By being scrappy, fast, and obsessed with solving a real problem. In this 8-minute episode, we hear how Tessa Clarke and her co-founder tested Olio with just a WhatsApp group—and how a simple food share (a bag of shallots!) unlocked their conviction to go all in. Instead of raising capital for a perfect product, they built an MVP that was only slightly better than WhatsApp. But that was enough. What followed was a surprising twist: people loved the idea so much, they had no food to share. So they launched the Food Waste Heroes program. And now, 135,000+ trained volunteers are redistributing food across communities. From idea to impact, this is the mindset every founder should hear. In 8 minutes, you’ll see how the best startups begin. With simplicity, speed, and strangers.

    ⁠⁠He’s a Catalyst for Regenerative Change And Just Launched the 1000 Year Vision Movement to Finance Struggling Family Farms - With Peter Michel Heilmann Initiator, 1000 Year Vision Movement

    What if the future of farming wasn’t measured in harvests, but in centuries? In this episode of Tomorrow’s Bites, we sit down with Peter Michel Heilmann, a lifelong change-maker who has helped launch global sustainability movements and is now focused on one bold mission: building a 1000 Year Vision movement to secure the future of family farms. Peter believes farmers are the stewards of our land, yet they are trapped in broken financial systems that leave them asset-rich but cash-poor. His solution blends regenerative agriculture, innovative financing, and long-term trusts to protect farmland, empower farmers, and keep value in rural communities for generations to come. We explore: Why traditional finance fails farmers,and how to fix it.Why cash flow, not land, is the biggest risk for farmers.How debt, banks, and sale, leaseback deals trap farmers in poverty.Why short-term profit thinking is destroying food systems.The role of trusts and foundations in protecting farmland for the future.How regenerative farming must also be about regenerating culture and community. and much more... 🙏 LEAVE A REVIEW  If you like our podcast please leave us a review on your favourite platform – even one sentence helps!

    The Part Listeners Didn't Skip: What Every Food Entrepreneur Need, But Can’t Afford Alone - from our episode with Sami Simreen, Co-Founder of Kico Kitchen #79

    What if the biggest barrier for food entrepreneurs isn’t funding, branding, or even product-market fit? It’s access. Access to kitchens. To community. To systems that work. In this short episode, Sami Simreen, co-founder of Kico Kitchen, shares how his team turned a failed zero-waste restaurant plan into a thriving co-working kitchen for food entrepreneurs in The Hague. He unpacks the invisible struggles of early-stage founders and why sustainability becomes a privilege if support systems aren’t in place. We talk about what most founders get wrong, why no idea is ever truly original, and how to build something people genuinely need, not just something that sounds good on paper. In 10 minutes, we explore how Kico Kitchen is reshaping the food startup landscape from the ground up.

    What If One Forgotten Crop Can Replace Guacamole Forever? - with Co-Founder of Favamole, Andrés Jara #91

    What if guacamole didn’t need avocados at all? When regenerative farmer-turned-food-innovator Andres Jara found himself in the middle of Tuscany without access to avocados, he stumbled onto a recipe that could shake up the food industry: FavaMole. Made entirely from European-grown fava beans, it uses 100x less water than avocados, has a fraction of the carbon footprint, and still delivers the creamy, flavorful experience people love. In this episode, we explore: Why reviving one forgotten crop could restore soil health and farmer livelihoodsHow a €50K EU grant and a chance meeting with an investor kickstarted the businessThe strategy behind targeting massive B2B caterers before supermarketsWhy Andres believes taste, profitability, and sustainability can co-existThe surprising history of fava beans and their disappearance from European diets And much more... 👋 GET IN TOUCH WITH US 👥 ⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠ 📸 ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ 🌎 ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ 😊 The Guest: ⁠Andrés Jara Look into the company ⁠⁠Favamole

    The Part Listeners Didn't Skip: How WayOut Is Reinventing Water Access for the 1 Billion Without Plastic - from our episode with Ulf Stenerhag, Co-Founder of Wayout #78

    How do you bring clean drinking water to the places the world forgets? With Ulf Stenerhag, Co-Founder of WayOut, we explore how a bold idea turned into a decentralized water system that can serve the 1 billion people who still lack safe water access. But the real innovation isn’t just technological. It’s about flipping the narrative: delivering premium water solutions to low-income communities, solutions that are circular, traceable, and radically better than the plastic-heavy systems they've been handed in the past. What started as a beer logistics idea evolved into micro-factories that filter, mineralize, and distribute clean water locally. And behind that transformation lies a bigger question: What do people really deserve when it comes to something as basic as water? In just 10 min, we unpack the business model, mindset, and mission behind one of the most overlooked revolutions in water access.

    What If Coffee Wasn't One of the Most Destructive Commodities On Earth? With Sebastian Nielsen, CEO of Slow Forest #90

    Coffee is the second most traded commodity on Earth, and one of the most destructive, but what if it didn’t have to be? In this episode of Tomorrow’s Bites, we sit down with Sebastian, founder of Slow Forest, to explore how coffee farming can go from extractive to regenerative, from deforestation to reforestation.
