Michael interviewed Torin Yeager, CEO and co-founder of Pomodyne in our most recent episode of CC Pod. Pomodyne is an indoor agriculture startup revolutionizing the cultivation of fruit crops.
Pomodyne’s primary focus is to solve the complexities of fruit cultivation. As Torin explained, they are developing a technology for growing fruits without the fruit plant. This innovative approach can potentially bypass the constraints of traditional agriculture, creating a more sustainable and efficient way to grow fruits, particularly in the face of a changing climate.
Torin's decision to start Pomodyne stemmed from his deep-seated concern about the impact of climate change on plant agriculture. Supported by his co-founder and their shared passion for biomedical sciences, they developed their core technology and cultivation process.
Building a physical deep tech company came with its share of obstacles, from engaging with regulators to gaining investment support. However, they found that direct communication with decision-makers and regulators was key to understanding and navigating these issues.
Torin believes Pomodyne’s technology could be a game-changer for feeding the world sustainably, particularly in a future where we need to adapt to a warming climate. He emphasized that Pomodyne's technology could deliver out-of-season fruits in a carbon-neutral world.
