Highlights from Joshua's career include but are not limited to:
- Being credited as an inventor on all patents for Because Animals' future cellular agriculture products;
- Helping raise US$7M in funding for the Company; and
- Being awarded the Grand Prize for pet food innovation at the 2020 Petcare Innovation awards, sponsored by Purina.
Mr. Errett operates from the Bay Area of San Francisco, California. This is expected to allow CULT to accelerate new product development and expand its operations to the Silicon Valley Region.
"I am excited to add Joshua as a member of the CULT team. He will be pivotal in the expansion of CULT's operations, new product development and other company efforts. His extensive experience in both cellular agriculture and as an experienced operator are expected to be vital in exploring new ways CULT can build value and be on the leading edge of cellular agriculture," said Lejjy Gafour, CEO of CULT.
