S4. E22: Michael Pellman Rowland: Beyond Beyond Meat: The Next Big Plant-Based IPO

“What's allowed the Beyonds and Impossibles and JUSTs of the world to do what they're doing was not subsidies, it was investment that they put into science and technology that allowed them to create things that weren't creatable before, because they just hadn't been tried before.”

- Michael Pellman Rowland


Michael Pellman Rowland is back. He was on the podcast in the early days of the pandemic to talk about the happenings in the alternative protein space and to explain the Beyond Meat IPO – the most successful IPO since 2001. 

Since then, I have heard from a lot of you, asking who is next? So, I asked Michael to come back and talk about the next five plant-based companies that will most likely go public in the near and not as near future. He graciously gave me an in-depth look at the companies that are on the verge of exploding, as well as a couple that you might not have ever heard of. 

Michael knows and loves this space. He has been writing about it for years, primarily for Forbes. His articles are about the future of food, sustainable food startups and technologies, and all of the happenings in the plant-based food industry. 

Michael is a wealth of knowledge, information, and advice; and a really good human being. I hope that you learn as much as I did.
