Karuna, an entrepreneurial brand builder, shares her journey with Nature’s Fynd, a company that developed a new protein source from a unique fungus discovered in Yellowstone National Park. 1. From Outer Space to Your Plate: The Unlikely Origin of Nature’s Fynd Nature’s Fynd’s story began with a NASA research project aimed at understanding how life could survive in extreme environments. This research led to the discovery of a remarkable fungus thriving in Yellowstone National Park’s volcanic springs. 2. Revolutionising Protein: A New Frontier in Nutrition Nature’s Fynd’s fungus can produce protein in just 3 to 4 days, compared to the months or years required by animals and plants. This rapid growth makes it a game-changer in meeting the dietary needs of a growing global population. The protein is also incredibly nutritious, containing 50% protein, 30% fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, the fungus thrives in an acidic environment, eliminating the need for antibiotics, pesticides, or hormones, making it a cleaner and healthier protein source. 3. Marketing the Unthinkable: Turning Fungi into Food One of the biggest challenges Nature’s Fynd faced was convincing consumers to embrace a fungus-based food. The company focused on taste, understanding that no matter how sustainable or healthy a product is, it must taste good to succeed. Nature’s Fynd built its brand around the Explorer archetype, a rare identity in the food industry, which aligned perfectly with their innovative story of pioneering new territories in food production. Through strategic branding and storytelling, they successfully shifted the narrative from “weird” to “wonderful.” 4. Launching in a Pandemic: Nature’s Fynd’s 2020 Debut Nature’s Fynd was set to launch in March 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic began. While this timing seemed unfortunate, it turned into an opportunity as consumers sought innovative solutions during the crisis. The brand’s message of optimism and innovation resonated with consumers, making their launch a symbol of hope in uncertain times. 5. Navigating Consumer Skepticism: Building Trust with Taste Understanding that taste is the top priority for consumers, Nature’s Fynd focused on making their products delicious to gain acceptance, even among skeptics of fungi-based food. Early market research revealed that younger, more open-minded consumers were the most interested in the product. By carefully segmenting the market, the company effectively targeted the most promising customer groups. Recognizing the deep cultural connection people have with food, Nature’s Fynd introduced their product in familiar forms like yogurt and cheese spreads, easing the transition to fungi-based foods.
