Description

Let me introduce Inventor, Biodesigner and Entrepreneur: Bob Hendrikx.

With a background in Architectural Engineering Bob strives for a world in which we work in symbiosis with nature. In 2020 he founded Loop Biotech, on a mission to revolutionize the funeral industry - through coffins that turn people into plant food.

Bob's journey received widespread attention, making headlines in Wired, CNN, The Guardian, and the BBC. VICE Media even awarded him the title of Human of the Year. 

His backers include Dragons' Den investors Pieter Schoen and Shawn Harris and we have a scoop: as he just closed a 2M crowdfunding round last to propel the business into its next phase of expansion.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

  • Innovating in the funeral industry;
  • Scaling up in Mushroom tech;
  • Building a company with your fiancé
