Vietnamese fish sauce producer SEAGULL Co. Ltd. has exported its first batch of fish sauce products to the United States, including vegan fish sauce. “Spending two years researching the American market, we've realized that the plant-based food industry is booming,” said Tran Ngoc Dung, director of SEAGULL, the owner of the Lang Chai Xua fish sauce brand. “When the firm piloted the sale of vegan fish sauce at some Vietnamese markets in the U.S., it impressed consumers with its flavor,” he stated.

Excited to announce our $6M funding round at Piramidal (YC W24), led by Lionheart Ventures and Adverb Ventures. Although it’s been 12 years, I still remember the smirk on Andreas Koupparis’ face when I naively said, "automation of this should be easy", during my first visit to George Kostopoulos EEG lab at the University of Patras Greece. Fast forward a decade of learnings and research at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and King's College London, and the field is now evermore closer to bridging the gap between research and production in brainwave technology. With that in mind, a year ago Kris Pahuja and I shook hands on a simple promise: make Piramidal a large, scalable business in order to deliver the positive impact of this technology on society. More than a few people have shaped and influenced the vision behind Piramidal, but we are particularly grateful to Surbhi Sarna, Jared Friedman, Wayne Crosby and the rest of the Y Combinator community for steering us in the right direction and for keeping our plans grounded in reality. Thank you David Langer, Jessica Verrilli and April Underwood for your trust. Thank you Michalis Koutroumanidis, Mark Richardson and Carl Saab for your continuous support. It was a pleasure to discuss our journey so far with Devin Coldewey from TechCrunch. Thank you for writing this article: https://lnkd.in/deM3gscg
