Matt Rogers is the Founder and CEO of Mill, a startup that helps customers turn their food scraps into farm feed. As a former engineer at Apple and cofounder of Nest, Matt understands how to create products that drive lasting change. He believes technology, coupled with deep empathy for the user experience, has the opportunity to solve a problem like food waste in a way that is impactful for both people and the planet. On this episode of “Food Lab Talk,” Michiel speaks with Matt to hear what inspired him to found Mill, how Mill is making food waste reduction at home more convenient, and his advice for other entrepreneurs passionate about transforming the future of food.
Matt Rogers: “Oh, man, if I could dare to dream, I would love to say that we could stop sending things to landfill. Now, obviously we're starting with food and food waste is a huge issue, but what if we could end waste? No one likes waste, but we've kinda accepted that it has to exist. And what if it didn't? That would be the dream one day.”
