2. Institutional reform and technology are the best ways forward to make meaningful impact on animals. Until we find a more effective form of animal rights activism (ie. maybe social media, per Faunanalytics), our focus should be on reform/tech.

1. There has been little to no progress in the % of vegans in the U.S, and only marginal progress abroad. Our current activism doesn't work, and we should identify if this is a problem with the *type* of activism, or activism itself.

What makes a specific bioprocess viable vs not? My cofounder and I are trying to enter this field, but we want to be careful with the proteins/bioprocesses we target, and what kind of cost model to use to assess viability.

Plant-Based Proteins:
Already on the market, and the ones that are already profitable. The goal with these is to reduce their costs compared to their meat alternatives.

Precision Fermentation:
Pharma companies use this. They take some organism (ie. yeast), and use it to make insulin that normally would come from a pig. We can make whey and casein this way, but lots of challenges exist. Read Industrial Biotechnology Commercialization Handbook to understand issues.

Clean Meat:
This is the lab grown meat stuff you all have probably heard of. A good primer is Clean Meat by Paul Shapiro. This field is the most behind - there have been several advances, but it requires significant capital, and has issues (contamination, yield, taste).
