About Brian Frank
Brian Frank is a serial founder turned food tech VC at FTW Ventures who built seven startups with three venture-backed exits including a company sold to Google, then spent years hands-on in food and beverage before combining both worlds into his investment focus. He's known for his problem-first approach that optimizes for people, planet, and profit rather than just financial returns, and for his early bets on synthetic biology companies like Geltor and Plantible before mainstream recognition of designer proteins from microbial fermentation.
