My guest this week is Rahim Rajwani, part of the team at Atelier Meats.
Rajwani is the co-founder and strategic advisor for Atelier Meats, a company utilizing biotechnology and tissue engineering to create real meat in a lab environment. As far-fetched as this concept may seem, the results are real. Since Atelier Meats are “structured,” they take on a familiar form – pork chops, steak, and chicken breasts. This ability to engineer structured meat sets Atelier Meats apart from other biotech meat, which typically results in unstructured shapes like chicken nuggets, meatballs, or ground beef.
Atelier provides an ethical alternative to factory farming, which leads to a better quality of life for animals and apparent health benefits for human beings. It’s well documented that factory farming is terrible for the environment, leading to deforestation and an overabundance of carbon emissions. Atelier Meats’ scientific and technological advances promise new solutions.
Atelier Meats is a biotechnology company dedicated to developing quality, lab-grown meats that are tasteful, healthy, and competitively priced for human consumption. Cultivated meat is no longer news. Our leading edge technology is. We have confidence in our winning team, science, engineering, and world-class lab.
Rahim Rajwani has mastered the art of taking companies public and knows a good bet when he sees one. His history of success has proven his strength as a venture capitalist, founder, and advisor. With him having a hand in the creation of Atelier Meats, the company can look forward to a bright future. Rajwani had previously jumped into innovative farming initiatives with GreenStar Biosciences and continues that interest in making farming more thoughtful and sustainable with Atelier Meats.
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2018 J. Lohr Pure Paso Proprietary Red Wine
Savory varietal notes of Cabernet Sauvignon are layered with the dark fruit and spice character of Petite Sirah. The bouquet of cocoa powder, caramel, and anise works in harmony with the black cherry fruit signature of this wine. Bright and focused on the palate with a firm and appetizing finish. ABV14.5%
