9. Turning Academic Research into Consumer Micro-Greens with Camille Richman (Hamama)
Episode 9
Monday, 10 February, 2020

Hamama is helping people grow nutritious microgreens in their home, year-round. Camille Richman, and her co-founder Dan Goodman, started the company after meeting at MIT. Their product consists of 3 seed quilts that are laid in a reusable growing tray. Years of growing food in the lab and at home have made their system fail-proof and a viable option for inexperienced gardeners to benefit from homegrown veggies. Those greens are supremely fresh, extremely nutritious, and a novel addition to most diets. Camille talks with 1517 Fund’s Zak Slayback about their rigorous customer discovery process, how they’ve built everything themselves, and the potential market with Baby Boomers.
