I'm interested in starting an insect farming start up. I am a firm believer that insects will be the next food trend, as well as a solution to the existing food production problem. However, I do not have any experience in engineering, biology, agriculture or the food industry. I'm a marketing major that freshly finished Uni. At the same time, I'm terrified and excited.
Currently, I am reading anything about edible insects, competitors, the industry, the expected growth, and checking out how other companies are doing. Heck, I started to reach out even to the competitors as a customer to see if they would provide me more info than it shows on their website. Also, I already do have dead insects in my fridge that are waiting to be prepared from a competitor.
I'm not confident enough in my own skills nor experience. However, I do have a passion to build something mine, novel to my country, and provide to the world a different solution to existing problems. In the past few days, I am only reading about it and taking all the knowledge. I do not want to enter the market too late and compete in the saturated market. Even though, even now big corporations do exist. Should I try?
