Episode notes

When i moved to san francisco, i slowly reduced my consumption of meat. I think there's just a lot of people out there in this really difficult place where you're trying to juggle your values and instincts. What do popped water lily seeds, drone training and comfortable socks have in common? All three businesses were founded by graduate students from f w olen graduate school of business at babson college.

When Aryé Elfenbein and Justin Kolbeck met in 2011, they had no intention of starting a business. Aryé was a cardiologist, and Justin was a diplomat who had lived in countries all over the world. But their chance meeting at a dinner party led to a deep friendship focused on working together to change the world. Through regular Saturday morning brainstorming sessions, they settled on pursuing a scientific approach to growing meat for human consumption.

This week on How I Built This Lab, Aryé and Justin discuss the problems with modern seafood production and how their company, Wildtype, hopes to revolutionize the industry by using stem cells to cultivate real, sushi-grade salmon...without harming any actual fish.
