 Hi everyone, my name is Stephanie and before I properly introduce myself, I'm gonna show you two pictures I want you to take a look at the screen here and think about what you see I Look at a nice. See that looks like a farm What about this picture? What does that look like to you? To me this looks like a lab I'm here today to tell you that these two things are in fact much much more similar than you may realize And in the future the former is going to look a lot more like the ladder So our farms are going to look a lot more like labs I'm Stephanie Michelson founder and CEO of Jellatech and we are revolutionizing the way that we make proteins We are a B2B biotechnology platform company and we are using cellular agriculture and biotechnology to produce proteins in a more scalable sustainable and efficient way to basically future-proof the way that we get proteins We're founded in 2020 mid pandemic We are nine full-time employees based in Raleigh, North Carolina, although I am from Denmark myself originally So not too far from here We have raised just under seven million US dollars in total throughout pre-seed and seed and we're solving some of the world's biggest problems So when I say proteins, you're probably thinking things like food and beverage protein as in meat or dairy But proteins are actually much much broader than food and beverage We also have individual proteins that can have applications and make up personal care important therapeutic applications by medical applications R&D materials and the issue is that currently We rely on either getting proteins from animal agriculture or from tissue from humans, for example And animal agriculture is an issue. It's actually destroying our planet So animal agriculture is one of the major greenhouse gas emission contributors and the worst part is not only is it destroying the planet It's also not really doing a good job. So it's not sustainable. It's not ethical consumers are looking for more clean label Products it doesn't offer that It's also not reliable. So when you have to rely on these massive farms thousands of different individual Animals, you get a lot of reliability in terms of the yield of prop protein that you're getting also in the purity the quality Which in return can actually affect the price of the cause so you see a lot of these references here and It's also not scalable. We are using far too much Resources and land to just even grow crops to feed the animals to then get proteins from them Luckily with gel tech we are solving all of this. So by using our technology And we are able to produce proteins that are sustainable And it is also ethical because we don't have to harm or kill animals It's also reliable Because when you grow protein in the lab you can control the whole process from start to end So we have a much more kind of linear relationship between we input X we output Y and we can consistently produce the same yield With high purity high quality proteins and lastly our Technology is in fact scalable. We do everything under one roof both from growing the proteins to extracting them and purifying them All in one roof instead of having farms slaughterhouses processing plants. So it's it's much much more scalable To give you a quick overview of what the process looks like Obviously, this is a very very simplified version of what a technology actually looks like But in short, we start by isolating cells. So we take a little skin Biopsy from we've done it from humans from pigs and cows a one-time biopsy with an isolated cells We immortalize those cells, which means that the cells they're now immortal So they will grow forever and definitely and then we can optimize the conditions in which the cells grow So we have been able to more than 15 fold increase the amount of protein We're getting out of each cell so we can tweak the process and thereby make way more protein out of the input that we're Putting into it and then similar to brewing beer We kind of brew proteins and then we extract and we purify We process it and then we end up with proteins that are true bio identical to what we're currently relying on Animal agriculture form so this way you get a more sustainable ethical and consistent protein production process without all the negatives The first protein that we have successfully developed is collagen. So collagen is a very unique and highly complex protein It's also very high value. It's a big global market. It's actually growing very rapidly and it has applications everywhere So whether it's collagen or it's the rivets of gelatin or collagen peptides You'll find it in things like bone broths yogurt gummy bears dermal fillers Tissue regeneration wound care pharmaceuticals materials R&D personal care and more and Right now the only way of getting this protein is either from humans that decide to donate their body after they pass Or through animal agriculture and that's the first protein that we have successfully developed It's not the only one working on though collagen We are currently in the aggressive scale up phase So we have taken the process from bench scale now through pilot and then eventually we're gonna go commercial for collagen We have both human boven and porcine We're also working on three other proteins right now to really expand the protein portfolio and become a market leader for Producing proteins in a more future-proof way Hopefully now you kind of understand the picture I was trying to paint around why in the future Farms are gonna look a lot more like labs and why it actually makes way more sense to use much less resources less time less land and be able to produce proteins in a more consistent reliable sustainable and ethical way In terms of a next for a gel attack, so we are scaling up our technology. We're expanding our team We are also expanding our portfolio of different proteins and cell lines We're also building partnerships currently and are seeking new ones So if you're currently struggling with and having to rely on animals or humans for proteins come talk to me And we'll be raising our series a next year So if you're an investor also feel free to connect with me you can scan the QR code You can also take my email have to have a chat over a coffee or beer and But that's it for me. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to me
