"I believe that through MySpirulina we can help algae become a staple food of the future, creating a more sustainable world."

Ben is an enthusiastic biologist in Kiel, Germany. As part of the team at MySpirulina, he is helping to realize the vision of a more sustainable future by growing algae. As the food of the future, he sees algae as an opportunity to combat rapidly advancing climate change while growing healthy, protein-rich food. His personal interest in algae was sparked about four years ago when he began cultivating and eating fresh spirulina on his own windowsill. The ease of cultivation and high yield rate immediately excited him. In addition to his hobby of scuba diving, Ben's overall diet is healthy and balanced - perfect for spirulina with its high protein concentration and abundance of minerals.

"Algae has a huge, undiscovered potential that we can only tap if we inspire more people to engage with it more deeply by growing it themselves."

Eli is a passionate biology student at Christian Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany, with great enthusiasm for marine science and sustainable use of aquatic resources. The student with the green thumb also has a passion for water in her free time, where she goes diving. She is convinced that algae have an undiscovered potential that can only be exploited if more people take an interest in it. She too an important part of the MySpirulina team to get more people interested in algae. In Eli's eyes, MySpirulina can convince more people because it offers a different approach to algae: grow it yourself, harvest it yourself!

"For me, MySpirulina is the perfect way to combine my enthusiasm for sustainable entrepreneurship and healthy nutrition."

The Passau student of International Cultural and Business Studies with a focus on business administration and sociology has always been interested in founding. It all started when she sold things from her parents' attic as a teenager and discovered her enthusiasm for designing, selling and negotiating. She also took a closer look at sustainability and social and sustainable entrepreneurship during her studies. So when she first caught wind of the idea three years ago, she was on board. In her free time, she has been playing theater for a long time and is very into sports. That's why she finds spirulina a super exciting superfood: healthy, high in protein, sustainable. And above all, one thing: it probably doesn't get more regional than this!
