Food Technology Entrepreneur

Francesco
Aimone
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area
Foodtech entrepreneur with a background in population health / healthcare operations. My current focus is bringing clean, connected manufacturing technologies to market for food & beverage manufacturers that can increase food quality and lower their operations costs.
I approach this work with health industry experience, including business development and operations for Medicaid healthcare providers, international master's-level teaching, and public health research and health-issue content writing.
My professional interests include food and healthcare system design and emerging technologies that improve food production and programs that affect the social determinants of health. If you are interested in approaching complicated problems from unique perspectives in sustainable food, health, and healthcare, let's connect!

Induction Food Systems
CEO, Co-Founder
My startup is challenging the idea that food & beverage production has to use the same heating equipment as it did in the 1800's. That's why the CEO of AgFunder, a thought-leader for agtech startups, called IFS "the Tesla of food & beverage manufacturing."
IFS helps new food & beverage facilities produce higher quality, sustainably-made food products while reducing their operating costs. We designed our compact, high-performance, all-electric equipment to bring food & beverage manufacturing into the 21st century.Aunt Martha's Youth Service Center
