Erik Amundson, Co-Founder & Managing Director of Vevolution, comments: “Vevolution has facilitated partial round funding into seven cellular agriculture companies in the last 16 months including Opalia, De Novo Dairy, Unicorn Biotechnologies, Fermify, and more. We’re ecstatic to triple down on the future of biotechnology, cellular agriculture, and precision fermentation. Enabling investors, companies, entrepreneurs, and consumers with easy to use technology that brings everyone together is what we at Vevolution are all about. This event is a small example of what is to come to build momentum for a kinder future.
