 Andre Menezes started his first business at 12 years old and looked at life, processes, and products with a simple question: Is there a better way?
Years later, this question led him from engineering to co-founding TiNDLE, which raised $130 million in capital, setting the record for the largest “Seed and Series A” ever raised by a plant-based meat company.
So, what was the recipe for success that took TiNDLE from starting from scratch during a global pandemic to becoming a world record breaker for funding? And what’s next for Andre?
