Co-Founder & OperationsCrickex Mar 2018 - Mar 2020At Crickex, we specialize in innovation, leveraging cutting-edge technology to cultivate insects for sustainable protein production. We provide comprehensive solutions, offering expertise, equipment, and streamlined processes to facilitate the operation and knowledge to farm insects effectively.I led the beginnings of the startup Crickex with an operator and my partner. I learned what it means to start from scratch in a new industry with limited accessible information and the importance of innovating without losing sight of operations. I am very grateful for this experience and to the current team at Crickex who have transformed the company from a warehouse with crickets to a farm with established processes. -
