As an entrepreneur, sometimes the boldest move you can make is to pivot. This week, we are joined by Rian Mc Donnell, CEO of FloVision Solutions, to talk about AI-driven solutions to help the food industry become more financially and environmentally sustainable by reducing waste and maximizing yield. We get into:  

• The work Rian leads with his team to optimize the food chain starting with protein – and how that vision varies from when he started the company 
• Insights that FloVision drives downstream to food processors and the capabilities they have because of these technology 
• FloVision’s market differentiation  
• How Rian sees the company playing a role in this massive food evolution 
• Feedback he gets from working with customers – especially food processors who are very traditional in their operations 
• FloVision’s recent $8.7 million Series A fundraise and what it will enable the company to do 
• The company’s tech stack and how the data drives different decisions and solutions based on their position around the globe, their food priorities and regulatory frameworks 
• Areas ripe for collaboration and what’s ahead in 2026
