The Future Of Food Is You is back! For the first show of 2024, host Abena Anim-Somuah is joined by Laura Katz, the founder and CEO of Helaina, a New York City-based biotech company specializing in “the next generation of nutrition.” Laura got the idea for Helaina after learning about the black market for breast milk and the surprise customer base. Not parents, but rather those looking to boost their cognition, muscle growth, and overall health. Laura shares how her love of cooking sparked an interest in food science, how a few cold emails led to the first investment in Helaina (the company has now raised $38 million), and how she’s learned to navigate entrepreneurship as a solo founder. Don’t miss Laura’s voicemail to her future self at the end of the show.
