How do you build an indoor farming company to produce delicious salads at scale and make the food system more sustainable? You may need to start with a greenhouse on top of a shipping container as an MVP. Then raise >100mln of euros of external funding. But most importantly, you’ll need to create a company culture based on values that aren't just some words on your website.
Kate Hofman is Founder and Brand Director of GrowUp Farms, an indoor farming company helping to build a more sustainable food system in the UK.
Kate and I talk about being a leader worth working for, hiring and building teams, and walking away from the initial company identity. She also shares her experiences of pitching to investors while pregnant and building a business while raising a child.
