Martin has studied in Vienna (Plant-based bio-economics) and in Cornell (Biotechnology) and is co-founder and CEO of BioFluff Inc., a next-generation Biomaterials startup developing 100% plant-based fur. He has designed his own Master's curriculum (Plant-based Bioeconomics), and it took him longer to get it approved than to complete the coursework. Martin holds two patents from accidentally dropping enzymes into a Petri dish as a grad student at Cornell University. This one is speculative, but he is probably the only Vegetarian who ever worked over a year in a tannery.
