Friedberg - Co-Founder & Managing Director, S2G VenturesIn co-founding S2G, Victor has brought together two personal passions: food and innovation. On a trip in 2009 to Spain, he went to the Central Market in Valencia and discovered that the food he'd been eating in the USA is a mere shadow of what real food actually tastes and feels like. He wondered why. The answer: our food system wasn’t designed to produce healthy food, it was designed to create plentiful, cheap and convenient food. So how can we change the food system into a better one? For Victor the answer is investment and innovation. In his role as Managing Director at S2G, he looks for mission-aligned innovative companies that have a big idea, passionate founders/management, and tailwinds. He helps to capitalize and guide those companies to achieve scale and success. In his role as a Managing Director, Victor enjoys helping to build and lead the S2G team, which is singularly poised to help transform the food system.PARTNERS:
