Biomilq, a North Carolina-based startup, is targeting infant nutrition by attempting to reproduce mother's breastmilk in a lab.
While that may seem like a moonshot endeavor, Biomilq has just earned the backing of the world's top investors, by raising $3.5 million in Series A funding from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Bill Gates' investment firm focused on climate change. "Right now, by the estimations we have been able to make, at least 10% of the dairy market globally ends up in infant formula," Eggers said. "That means per infant fed formula in the US, 5,700 metric tons of CO2 are produced, and 4,300 gallons of freshwater are consumed each year to feed a child. Parents want to do what's best for their kids but shouldn't have to decide between feeding their children and protecting the planet.
Wtf
Formula?
Stop Bill Gates. He has interests everywhere and his intentions are only to make money. Not good
Animal testing? Human Testing?
BillGates - Seems counterproductive to invest in climate change solutions while your company helps oil companies get every drop outta the ground, Bill
😬
