Matt Feldman Moku Foods - Becoming An Investable Company
August 3, 2021
In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Matt. Listen in as he shares how he attracted big name investors even though he was a first time founder in the food industry.
Matt Feldman is Co-Founder and CEO at Moku Foods. He's also named on Forbes' "30 Under 30" list this year!

Moku Foods uses clean, plant-based ingredients without processed and artificial ingredients and turning them into products that have the taste and texture of meat. One of the products they have now is the mushroom-based jerky.

Moku is backed by the founders of Thrive Market, Casper, Soylent, and Mendocino Farms as well as major firms - Siddhi Capital and Vanterra Capital.

I love what Matt said: "We’re not here just to make jerky. We’re here to encourage everyone to take mindful steps towards a healthier, sustainable future".
