Most CPG companies are largely unready to handle the ingredient shortages, price hikes, and supply issues caused by climate change (and/or population growth) over the next decade. From staple crops to cash crops like cocoa and coffee, disruption from these factors won't happen everywhere at once…but the impact severity will only increase over time. Food technology innovations like precision fermentation and cellular agriculture present hopeful aid…that is if they survive the upcoming predicated market consolidation period. The problem was created when these food technology startups raised billions at the “tippy top” of market valuations, scaled up operations too quickly, and hit commercialization snags. So, the question remains: how long before traditional agricultural giants like Cargill just buy up all the struggling precision fermentation and cellular agriculture startups that own valuable IP…further strengthening market domination of whole commodity groups?

BONUS: Agile Mindsets in Tech Entrepreneurship With Bao Tran In this BONUS episode, we explore the world of technology, innovation, and intellectual property with Bao Tran, a seasoned tech entrepreneur. As the founder and CEO of PowerPatent, Inc., and co-founder of Azpire Health, Bao shares his journey and offers advice for aspiring tech entrepreneurs and established businesses alike. The Journey into Technology and Entrepreneurship "You need very good people on the engineering side who can iterate quickly." Bao Tran started his career with ambitions of entering investment banking but ultimately found his calling as a patent lawyer. This shift led him to explore the tech industry deeply, where he recognized the importance of having a strong engineering team and maintaining exclusivity for products. He highlights the pitfalls of using platforms like Kickstarter, where competitors can easily copy innovative ideas, emphasizing the necessity of strong IP protection. Structuring Teams for Flexibility and Scalability "Build around a core team but also bring diversity into the team." Bao stresses the importance of having a core team that is close-knit for quick communication while also recruiting diverse talent to bring fresh perspectives. He advises focusing on problem-solving rather than falling in love with a particular technology, ensuring the team remains flexible and scalable as the company grows. Recruiting Talent for Tech-Focused Companies "Balance new people with fresh ideas and those with more experience." Hiring the right talent is crucial, and Bao's approach includes balancing newcomers with fresh ideas and seasoned professionals. He underscores the importance of a clear vision in product development, offering stock options as part of the salary package, and protecting IP early. Bao also introduces the concept of a "long tail approach" to product development, where continuous innovation and iteration play key roles. Advising Startups on Patent Strategy "Identify unique product features and anticipate how competitors might replicate them." For startups, Bao advises laying the foundation by identifying unique product features that can be patented. He recommends anticipating how competitors might design around these features and considering licensing opportunities across different industries to expand the utility of the patents. Impressive Examples of Patents Adding Value "This battery company reduced energy costs and even started feeding back into the grid." Bao shares success stories from his investments, including a company that used patented battery technology to reduce energy costs for small to medium businesses and eventually integrated these batteries into the power grid. He highlights the versatility of software patents and their applicability across various industries. Recommended Resources For those preparing their companies for growth, Bao recommends exploring resources like the PowerPatent YouTube channel and PatentPC.com. These platforms provide valuable information on fundraising, patent strategies, and more. About Bao Tran Bao Tran is a tech entrepreneur specializing in AI, blockchain, and digital twin technologies. He is the founder and CEO of PowerPatent, Inc., where he innovates the patent process through automation, and co-founder of Azpire Health, which leverages tech in healthcare. Bao is an angel investor at TVC and represents Silicon Valley at the Boston Global Forum. He holds a JD, MBA, and BSEE from top institutions.

If you are in tech, a Silicon Valley type, in a startup, or you're a category designer working in that world, this podcast is for you. Because today, we're going to talk about career considerations for all of you. Whether you are planning to climb the corporate ladder or break away from it, we hope that his episode can help you figure things out. Speaking of making a difference, my friends at Acceleration Economy are hosting a legendary virtual event called the Digital CIO Summit. It is not a stretch to say that some of the smartest people in the technology industry are going to be participating. And when some of the big thinkers in the tech world are willing to share their thinking, it is an incredible opportunity that you don't want to miss. If you are interested, register today at AECIOSummit.com. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing. The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. How Category King Economics Work The first thing that is important to talk about is how Category King Economics work, and what happens to its dynamics in downtimes. When a new category emerges from a company or a small startup and gains traction, it attracts competition and investment. Eventually, a category king or queen will emerge from said companies and will have the bulk of the market at its grasp – almost two-thirds of the market or so. As we have previously discussed in past episodes and in our book Play Bigger, these categories are usually developed during downtimes, or times of slower to no growth. This is because costumers will usually flock to the current category king or queen of their field, leaving number two and below competing for small portions. Rather than compete for said small portion, these companies are now incentivized to create new categories themselves, one where they can thrive and dominate. Otherwise, their company is in for a slump and steady decrease in profits and market share. Are you in a Category Battle? So as a company, it is important to know how your product or services rank in their perspective category. If you're the category king or head-to-head with the current one, that's great. If not and you are steadily in number 2 or lower, it might be time to get the whiteboards out. Why? Because it means that you are directly competing with pretty much the same product, with them having the superior specifications than yours. Hence, why customers and the bulk of the market choose them as the Category King rather than your company. You are essentially fighting a losing battle at that point, and bleeding money as a result. Time for Plan B Now that you are aware of how companies do battle for the top spot in a category, let's talk about you. If you find yourself in a company that is consistently placing 2nd or in the market, it may be time to consider some career moves. The most obvious one is moving to the category king, and see what they are doing right over there. Another option is to go solo – a lot of solopreneurs tend to break out in these downtimes, either starting from a side hustle and developing it to a career, or working with other entrepreneurs and diving into a new startup with fresh ideas. Take stock of what you have to offer, whether it be intellectual capital or experience, and locate a way to leverage it for your own benefit, whatever course of action you are considering taking. Also, look for a business or a circumstance that will allow you to reap the greatest benefits from the qualities you possess.
