Last night capped our time as a participant and ultimately a winner of the MassChallenge Switzerland accelerator. Four months, many train rides to Lausanne and countless iterations of our pitch later, we depart as proud alumni and committed members of the MC community. New ideas to work on. An extra 10k in our pocket. And so many new contacts, mentors and friends. To the MassChallenge team and all partners: Thank you for opening your doors to us. You made space for a dialogue that has triggered deep, constructive questions and new ways of thinking. Your willingness to simultaneously challenge and encourage us as we work toward a world without land conversion has made us stronger as a team. And a special thank you to Louis Dreyfus Company: We're exceptionally honored to have had the opportunity to share our ideas with the broader LDC team, building on the work we've already accomplished together. Massive congratulations to the night's biggest (and very deserving) winners, EcoBean and Noovi Ag! Onward and upward!
