The Spoon has launched a new podcast!
As listeners of the Spoon Podcast know, it’s been both a long-form interview show and a news show. Since those who listen to interviews aren’t always the same as those who want their weekly dose of food tech news, we thought a dedicated news show made sense.
Meet the Food Tech News Show podcast! You can subscribe to the new The Food Tech News Show on Apple Podcasts, Pandora, iHeart Radio, and via RSS.
On this episode, Michael Wolf and Carlos Rodela welcome Peter Bodenheimer, a longtime food tech investor and operator, to discuss the current state of food and ag tech funding. In this episode, they delve into:
- The decline in agrifoodtech investments in the first half of 2024, with startups raising $7 billion across 427 deals, a significant drop from H1 2023.
- Upside Foods recently let a couple of dozen people go amid a tough funding environment and industry challenges due to state-level political challenges to cultivated meat
- SharkNinja’s latest innovation, the Ninja SLUSHi Professional Frozen Drink Maker, makes commercial-grade slushies for home kitchens.
- Chef Robotics is emerging from stealth mode to showcase its new robot and announce early customer partnerships.
- The Thimus’ T-Box reads brainwaves to assess consumer reactions to food products. Is this the future of consumer CPG product testing?
