“Rebel Meat was basically born in the FAB accelerator program: with the support of everyone at FAB accelerator we went from a couple of slides and a working title to a fully developed product, a professional go-to-market strategy and a listing at the biggest wholesaler in Austria.”
Ronja Scherzinger, CEO FashionTouri
