Good overview of the emerging bean-less coffee ☕ market - featuring our portfolio startup Prefer | bean-free coffee and some thoughts from yours truly:

“Coffee is one of the foods with the highest carbon footprint per kg and water footprint. At the same time, coffee as a crop is threatened by climate change,” Michal Klar tells Just Drinks. “We believe food companies sourcing and selling coffee will be looking for more stable supply [chains], with more predictable prices. Bean-less coffee might meet that need.”

Thanks Fiona Holland for coverage, nice work.

Can't wait to join Charlotte Joy Trudgill, Melis Dural, and the HubSpot team on a panel "From Incubation to Investment: Founders Reflect on Building Vital Connections" today at 11 AM PST!

Mito Health (YC S24) tells you exactly what to do to prevent disease and live longer. They provide personalized recommendations based on regular blood work, which examines over 100 biomarkers.

Today's healthcare often prioritizes treating illness rather than promoting long-term health. There's no reliable method to assess health beyond determining whether someone is diseased or not, and annual check-ups with primary care providers often provide generic advice without clear next steps, leaving patients uncertain about what to do next.

Mito offers personalized insights and actionable steps to maintain prime health and prevent diseases. It stays updated with the latest proactive medical research to detect diseases early, and its AI-assisted personalized action plans provide health recommendations co-piloted by doctors. Simply schedule your blood draw at a Labcorp center and get your Mito biological age, detailed results, and a personalized action plan, including supplement, exercise, nutrition, and sleep strategies, a week later.

The founders, Tee-Ming C., Joel Kek, Ryan Ware, and Kenneth Lou, have been serving a thousand users in their Singapore clinic and are launching in the US to help more Americans live better, for longer.

Congrats to the team on the launch!
