Entomal, a seasoned startup that also joined Sidec’s previous expedition to the US, stated that the judges encouraged them to rapidly scale their biotech and waste management solution.
“[We were advised] to place more emphasis on the profitability of our downstream products, like animal feed and frass fertilisers,” Yanni Ching, Entomal’s COO and co-founder stated.
“While our focus has been on showcasing the environmental and waste management aspects of our solution, the investors were keen to see a stronger narrative around the financial returns and the scalability of our revenue streams.”
