[ 01:08 ] Where he got their startup name, and how it exemplifies what they want to do/be.
[ 02:45 ] How he would describe his product on the natural to synthetic spectrum.
[ 04:12 ] How he discovered the plant and realized it would be a great opportunity. Also, how most people passed it up.
[ 07:08 ] We discuss how now is great timing for what he is making.
[ 08:37 ] How he went from a post doc, to working to make this commercially viable.
[ 10:00 ] How he would teach someone to figure out how to scale something developed in the lab.
[ 12:30 ] What the benefits of his product are over sugar (i.e not being a carbohydrate, etc).
[ 14:14 ] From the tests they've run, how people have responded to the taste when compared to sugar.
