About KULT FARM
KULT FARM makes a true and natural new whole food from mycelium solid state fermentation. As a venture-backed business, we are pioneering this approach.
Our mission 🐠 is to foster the world’s transition to a sustainable food system- without asking consumers to compromise on taste, texture, or price.
Our planet 🌎 cannot sustain our current food system; therefore, we believe in producing exceptional alternative products to remove the current strain on our environment and ensure food security for our future ever-growing population.
Kult Farm is a foodtech startup in Barcelona developing novel plant-based protein ingredients through solid-state fermentation. The company is focused on building scalable and sustainable processes for next-generation protein alternatives.
This is your opportunity to have an impact on our planet and experience a startup in its earliest days.
Role and Responsibilities ****🔨
Kult Farm is looking for a highly motivated intern to support the scaling of solid-state fermentation processes for new plant-based protein alternatives. The selected candidate will work closely with the R&D team to translate lab protocols into robust pilot-scale processes and contribute to product and process development.
- Support experimental planning and execution for solid-state fermentation scaling trials.
- Prepare substrates, inocula and fermentation runs following SOPs and good laboratory practices.
- Monitor and record process parameters such as temperature, humidity and time.
- Assist with sample handling and basic downstream processing.
