What this episode covers

Paul Hillmann, CTO at Entocycle, explains how his company uses black soldier fly larvae to create sustainable, localized protein feed for livestock, replacing unsustainable fish meal and soy. He details the biological advantages of the larvae, such as rapid growth and high feed conversion, and describes Entocycle's automated technology, including the AntiSide Neo system for counting neonates and computer vision for fly population management. Hillmann discusses the company's stage of scaling production, their partnerships with universities and commercial operators, and the economic imperative to compete on cost with traditional feedstocks to drive adoption in the animal feed market.

    R&D RADIO: Travis Zissu from Scale Food Lab

    Travis Zissu, founder of Scale Food Labs, an FDA-registered pilot facility in Golden, Colorado, explains how his company helps emerging CPG brands transition from benchtop formulas to scalable production. He details a rigorous process involving sourcing from commercial-grade suppliers, iterative prototyping, and stress-testing pilots by manipulating heat and stirring to uncover failure points before full-scale manufacturing. Zissu highlights current industry trends, including a supply chain shortage for beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) whey protein through 2027, the risks of GI distress with fiber-forward products, and the potential of cell-based meats. He emphasizes that founders must accept a '90% acceptance' threshold for launch, as home kitchen recipes rarely translate perfectly to industrial machinery.
