Rachel Drori, Founder and President of plant-based frozen food company Daily Harvest talks the company’s recent $43 million funding round and its growth since its 2015 founding. The company has attracted celebrity investors like Gwyneth Paltrow and Serena Williams, with this latest round led by Cheddar investor Lightspeed Venture Partners. Drori talks the inspiration behind the company and why its unprocessed, direct-to-consumer product stands out from others on the market. The company touts that all products are plant-based and made with whole, unrefined, organic ingredients. The frozen format means a long shelflife and ability to utilize "ugly" fruits and vegetables, reducing waste throughout the supply chain.

Trump Highlights Partnership Investing $500 Billion in AI
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
