    The Part Listeners Didn't Skip: What Every Startup Learns When Their First Business Model Doesn’t Scale - from our conversation with co-founder of Tälist, Pia Voltz

    What if your first idea... isn't the right one? That’s exactly what happened to Tälist, the alt-protein recruitment company co-founded by Pia Voltz. After dozens of interviews with founders and ecosystem players, Pia and her team realized the real bottleneck in food innovation wasn’t product development—it was people. Tälist first launched as a boutique executive search firm. But it quickly hit a wall: the service wasn’t scalable or affordable for the very companies they wanted to serve. So they pivoted. In this short, Pia shares how they shifted from 1:1 recruitment to building a matchmaking platform—complete with AI tools, a job board, and a curated talent pool—to support startups at scale. She also opens up about what most hiring platforms get wrong, and how Tälist is rethinking recruitment to make it faster, more inclusive, and better for the planet. In 9 minutes, you’ll learn the power of listening, letting go, and designing for real needs.

    What Can Space Farming Teach Us About Feeding People On Earth? - With Charlotte Pouwels from EUSPA & Bart van Meurs Division Q a Special WUR Edition

    What if the innovations designed to feed astronauts on Mars could solve food security challenges here on Earth? In this special Tomorrow’s Bites episode, we sit down with Bart van Meurs, director of Division Q, and Charlotte Pouwels, analog astronaut and space mission leader, who both served as jury members for Wageningen University’s Student Challenges. Together, they reveal how the technologies tested for farming in space, like hydroponics, vertical farming, and AI-driven monitoring, are already shaping the future of horticulture and sustainable food systems on Earth. We explore: Why resource scarcity in space mirrors the challenges of urban food systemsHow vertical farming and hydroponics born from space research are revolutionizing citiesThe surprising psychological role plants play for astronauts, and what it means for usWhy water recycling in space could redefine how we handle wastewater on EarthThe startups that caught their attention with game-changing solutions🙏 LEAVE A REVIEW  If you like our podcast please leave us a review on your favourite platform – even one sentence helps!

    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.
