seeing more of this lately and still not sure the market is processing it honestly. Shared lab access could help small brands if maintenance politics did not show up so fast it sounds good in decks...
I am curious about collaboration across nearby coffee communities because coffee community often grows faster than its habits. When that happens, the same problem repeats in different places. I would...
