Some bets were right. Many underestimated biology\, regulation\, and the cost of scaling. Where food systems break first is now clearer: raw material supply\, production consistency\, unit economics\, and risk pricing. Day 2 of HackSummit is built for founders working on food systems that must keep operating under climate volatility\, biological limits\, and regulatory challenges.\n\nThese companies:\n– build in systems where decisions are validated over years\n– depend on land\, biology\, and physical supply chains\n– pay for mistakes through yields\, margins\, and compliance risk\n\n\nValley Partner Discounts are available.
