Zimri Hinshaw
In this episode, we sit down with Zimri Hinshaw, founder and CEO of Bucha Bio, to explore how the company is using biotechnology to create novel biomaterials that replace animal leather and fossil fuel–based materials. Zimri explains how fermented cellulose (SCOBY) becomes the foundation for Bucha Bio’s materials, how new materials reach end consumers, and why branding plays a critical role in commercialization. We also talk about raising capital in Houston, the collaborative founder community, why Houston is an ideal place to scale a biotech company, and even what it takes to become a Gulf Coast surfing legend.
