Reflecting on Nowadays, a Tenacious Portfolio Company Wind Down

Hearing the stats about startup failure rates (70 - 90%), and how one - only one- investment drives returns for most VC funds, is one thing. Actually experiencing it, is another. In line with our learning out loud ethos, today we're talking about Nowadays, a Tenacious portfolio company that recently wound down operations. Nowadays was a manufacturing platform for whole cuts of clean label plant based meat, whose flagship product is a plant-based chicken nugget made with just a handful of simple, clean ingredients.

We’re speaking with Founder and CEO Max Elder about what happened, where he is now, and what he's learned. Then, at the end of the episode, Tenacious General Partners Matthew Pryor and Sarah Nolet dig in on their takeaways and where to from here.
