 Andre Menezes started his first business at 12 years old and looked at life, processes, and products with a simple question: Is there a better way?

Years later, this question led him from engineering to co-founding TiNDLE, which raised $130 million in capital, setting the record for the largest “Seed and Series A” ever raised by a plant-based meat company.

So, what was the recipe for success that took TiNDLE from starting from scratch during a global pandemic to becoming a world record breaker for funding? And what’s next for Andre?

• 📈 How can the lessons learned from this venture help businesses move forward?
• 🥩➡️🌿 What is the future of the meat industry in the face of plant-based alternatives?
• 🤔 How can businesses tackle the challenges of changing consumer habits?

In this episode, we dive into his incredible journey—from overcoming the challenges of starting a business from scratch to his strategies for success, his predictions for the future of the food industry, and the emerging trends in consumer behavior.
