Yesterday we kicked off 2020 Impact.tech seminars season with "Cellular Agriculture" taught by Elliot Swartz from The Good Food Institute. Elliot delivered an excellent summary of the science behind cultivated meat and shared valuable market insights. As one of the attendees pointed out -- it was several PhD theses packed into one neat presentation. We couldn't agree more!

Earlier this month, we celebrated 50Y's fourth birthday, our new HQ, and our portfolio founders' incredible work and achievements!

Thank you to all who attended in person or in spirit. Each and every one of you supports the 50Y universe as we work to solve the world's biggest problems through technology entrepreneurship!

We were also lucky to highlight products from three of our portfolio companies: plant-based "chicken" nuggets from Rebellyous Foods, a plant-based “steak” demo from Emergy Labs, and non-alcoholic, nootropic, and adaptogen-based Euphoric drinks from Kin!

Below are photos from the night. See if you can spot yourself and feel free to tag and share!

🌟 🎄Happy Holidays from the 50Y Team
