Tell us about your business.
The future of home grown protein. The world's first truly sustainable insect growing pod.
BeoBia was founded on a a clear mission to help people: Reduce their carbon footprint. Reuse their food waste. Rethink their relationship with food.
We can produce food, without compromising our planet’s health. BeoBia means ‘food for life’ in Gaelic. The meaning of the word embodies our belief that we can produce and consume sustainable food, without compromising our planet.
When did you start your business?
April 2019.
What's been your biggest highlight?
Our Kickstarter success in August 2020 when we raised over £21k of pre-orders in less then 30 days.
What's been your biggest challenge?
Hitting expectations - I always set big targets and milestones for BeoBia so hitting them can be a real challenge, but working towards these big, hairy, audacious goals (BHAG) are half of the fun working in an early stage start-up.
