Soylent is a food substitute startup by a young software engineer. It raised $1.5 million in seed funding from angels and VCs such as Andreessen Horowitz (led by Chris Dixon).
Feedback from A Gawker taste test was mixed:
“It made me feel like joining a cult, after just one sip.”
“My mouth tastes hot and like old cheese.”
“It was great and I love it. I don’t want to eat anymore.”
The young entrepreneur, who has no formal education in either medicine or nutrition, aims to solve the world’s food problem by providing this low priced food substitute drink. Still, it doesn’t seem to be easy to put together all necessary ingredients.
We don’t think Soylent would be food of the future. But good luck to them.
