Adam Tarshis (Mozza Foods) — Growing Real Casein in Soybeans

Adam Tarshis, co-founder and CEO of Mozza Foods, joins Alex Shandrovsky on the Investment Climate podcast.

Mozza is a molecular farming company engineering soybeans to produce authentic dairy casein — the protein that makes cheese melt and stretch — as a drop-in ingredient for dairy manufacturers, without cows and without building precision-fermentation factories.

In this episode: why molecular farming beats bioreactors for cost parity, funding deep tech in food when capital is scarce, infrastructure and regulation paths (USDA/FDA), and what it takes to get soybean-grown casein to market (target launch late 2028).
