We’ll write your first check and are set up to keep investing deep into the alphabet as your company grows. So if you’re building a startup to rein in global warming while making cold, hard cash, drop us a line.

Shake Shack 🤝 Mill 

Fired up about this. Hats off to Shake Shack for doing an awesome job (already) at minimizing wasted food at their locations -- the average household produces more food scraps than their West Village Shack. Grateful to get to work together to keep this kitchen (and the planet) clean!

Just as an oven lets you bake cookies while you read a few feet away, BurnBot, Inc. safely localizes all the benefits of a controlled burn by sucking up and incinerating dried vegetation inside a tank-like mobile chamber. Not only are BurnBot burns much safer than traditional controlled burns, they’re 10x faster, vastly cheaper, and much more acceptable to local communities because they’re practically smoke-free. With their new $20m Series A, BurnBot can ramp up production and really get going fighting California wildfires before they start.  https://lnkd.in/gn8vcPZ8

A long time coming! This is the headline I hoped would become a reality when we started Zero Acre Farms four years ago. And we're just getting going. "Alternative Cooking Oils Are Taking Over Restaurant Kitchens"

Thank you Kat Odell for shining a light on the restaurants saying no to harmful, low quality seed oils, like SingleThread Farm - Restaurant - Inn, Blue Hill At Stone Barns, and COQODAQ, who continue to be champions for not only incredibly delicious food, but also our belief in a healthier world with better oils and fats.
