"Every time I check in with companies, they come up with a new innovation and a new way to bring down that cost... It’s not about incremental change. We’re talking about a revolution, and that means reimagining what infrastructure looks like... At Ark, we are offering the path for industry to succeed." Last week, Ark's founder Yossi Quint shared his thoughts at Tufts on the state of cultivated meat and the path forward. https://lnkd.in/enBhpUVG

Please give a warm welcome to Nirav Ilango, our newest addition to the Ark team! Nirav joins Ark as a software engineer working on system integration.
