I was there when UPSIDE Foods were just 3 people and spoke to Uma Valeti, MD about the benefits of making sure that Cell Agriculture would be available to the Kosher and Hallal consumer.

Speaking with Jason, I got the same feeling again.

You are witnessing the beginning of something great.

It happened to be that we recorded two weeks before the new investment round, so I guess the feeling was correct.
