    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: Biotechnologist by education, but I specialize in protein processing and texture development for plant-based products. I have a great passion for crafting delicious, innovative foods - I see food as a scientific experiment that can be eaten. Before co-founding Juicy marbles I was working on a variety of hardware projects, from precision farming robots, to inexpensive lab equipment - that experience became quite handy, when we were developing a machine for texturing protein into steaks.
  • name: Tilen Travnik
    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: Tilen is an experienced digital transformation entrepreneur turned food-tech geek. Together with his two co-founders, they launched BEVO - a plant protein texturisation company that developed a process and designed a machine capable of turning any plant protein in a delicious whole-cut steak. Tilen is also an avid supporter of Slovenia's startup ecosystem and holds an MBA.
