Project Manager

We are a group of people united by a strong purpose.

We want you to get to know us, and Giuseppe, our very own artificial intelligence.

We love good food, but above all, we love the planet, and that's why, to protect it, we reinvent the food industry, one delicious bite at a time, elevating what we eat, through our technology and based on plants.

Our recipe has three mega-important components: science, technology, and, of course, disruptive talents who work daily to create a better future.

At NotCo we are not and do not seek to be the perfect company, but rather the right one. We are here to produce changes, and that is why we dare, fail, and sometimes achieve incredible successes.
