just-food: How will the funding from Lever VC help your business?
Bruno Fonseca: A lot. Lever is a specialist in this industry, so, for us, it was a validation of what we ve been doing for the last couple of years. Having a partner like Lever VC will help with our internationalisation plan. We are already in talks with distributors and partnerships in Europe and Asia. And, of course, we are using the cash to increase our marketing and sales team. We had a [fundraising] round before Lever VC and, with that money, we invested in an 80 tonnes-per-month capacity facility and built a lab to do R&D.

In 2015, I travelled to Sweden for an event with former
Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein. It was billed as a conversation about modern journalism between the reporter who had broken the biggest story of the prior generation (Watergate) and the one responsible for the biggest story of the current one (NSA/Snowden revelations).
A couple of years earlier, at the height of the Snowden reporting, Bernstein and I had traded some barbed insults through the media. So before traveling to Sweden, he generously reached out to invite me to dinner in order, essentially, to clear the air so that we could have a civil conversation. The night before the event, we met for dinner at the hotel restaurant. We quickly laughed off the acrimony it had been a couple of years prior, and both of us have had much worse said about us and proceeded to have a perfectly enjoyable conversation.
