Making Honey WITHOUT Bees? Darko Mandich – Founder & CEO of MeliBio The Seed – The Startup Journey

    • Entrepreneurship

We've all heard of Beyond Meat or Impossible Foods... but those are plant-based alternatives to meat.  

Similarly, there are also vegan alternatives to honey...but what if I told you you can actually make REAL honey WITHOUT bees??  

Today we’ll be chatting with the Co-Founder & CEO of MeliBio – Darko Mandich. 

Darko is working on a super cool idea, which is to create something that matches and improves upon the molecular composition of bee-made honey, without involving any bees in the process!   

Not only is honey not vegan-friendly, but current honey production practices are also threatening the biodiversity of bees. Check out how Darko embarked on his startup journey to solve this problem!
