Dave Friedberg is the CEO of The Production Board (TPB), which is solving Earth’s most fundamental problems by reimagining global systems of production across food, agriculture, biomanufacturing, human health, and the broader life sciences. Based in San Francisco, TPB builds new businesses from scratch based on emerging scientific discoveries, partners with exceptional talent, and provides them with the capital, infrastructure, and market insights we believe can improve the cost, energy, time, or carbon footprint of conventional systems.
