🌐 Food & Ag Cluster with Mitch Rubin
This is the monthly meetup for the 🌐 Food & Ag Cluster! where we explore
Regenerative agriculture
Alternative proteins & food tech
Circular packaging
Blue foods
This cluster brings together all of the founders, investors, scientists and entrepreneurs reimagining how we produce, distribute, and consume food on an increasingly strained planet.
This meetup we'll get to hear from Mitch Rubin!
Mitch Rubin is Senior Director of Investments & Innovation at Elemental Impact, a nonprofit investor focused on scaling technologies with deep environmental and local impact. He leads Elemental's portfolio across food & agriculture, nature, and industry.
Mitch has spent his career both operating and supporting a variety of startups, with a perpetual focus on sustainability.

He previously managed Chobani's Incubator programs, and spent two years working with startups in Detroit as a Venture for America Fellow.

Mitch will trace his path from Chobani’s Incubator to backing startups across food/ag, nature, and industry, and share fresh takes on where the puck is going.
