SPEAKER:
Pat Crowley
Founder and CEO
Chapul, Inc.

With a vision for a healthier food system, Chapul set out to introduce edible insects to Western diets as a healthy and sustainable protein. Being the first of it's kind, Chapul not only had to pioneer a new market and new supply chain, but also had to overcome pre-conceived cultural bias associated with insects. The journey began with hand-making energy bars at a local farmers market to appearing on the hit show, Shark Tank, and winning the prestigious NEXTY Award as the most innovative product in the US. Fueled with a passion for a more sustainable future, Pat has broken down cultural barriers and introduced edible insects into Western cuisine. From handmaking energy bars in a small kitchen, to a crowd-funded start-up, then on to winning an investment from Mark Cuban on the hit TV show, Shark Tank, Pat has created an international presence and ignited a revolution that is challenging the boundaries of food.
