Getting back to it! Wild Earth CEO Ryan Bethencourt is speaking with GrepBeat this Friday. As seen on ABC's "Shark Tank," biotech startup Wild Earth is developing clean, high-protein pet foods that are healthy and environmentally friendly. In 2022, the company plans to launch new plant-based cat and dog food. Its fungi-based products require fewer resources than farm animals to deliver the same nutritional value. Last year, the company raised $23 million in funding and opened a second headquarters in Durham, NC.
