What if we could grow earplugs from mycelium, the natural root structure of fungi? ?? Every year, the world produces more than 40 billion earplugs – enough to circle the Earth nearly 100 times. Most of these are made from petroleum-based plastics, taking hundreds of years to break down and contributing significantly to the global plastic pollution crisis. GOB saw an opportunity to disrupt this wasteful cycle by creating earplugs that not only provide superior hearing protection but also help regenerate the planet when composted. Join us for an exclusive interview with Lauryn Menard, Co-Founder and CEO of GOB, the company behind the world's first mycelium earplugs! Lauryn will share how GOB is reimagining ear protection with its earplugs, made entirely from farm-grown mycelium foam. Mycelium is a durable, natural material known for its strength and ability to break down quickly in compost, offering a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. In this live interview and Q&A, hosted by Veronique Lafargue, we’ll discuss Lauryn’s journey as a founder, her bold go-to-market approach, and the magic -and challenges - of working with mycelium. You don't want to miss this episode! ?? December 3 ?? 9:00 AM PST | 6:00 PM CEST ?? Online ??

The first Xoogler.co event in May 2015 had Xooglers/Googlers come together to help Google alumni founders ??. Google Cloud's Ken Schutt hosted it and after meeting more Xooglers like Kevin Yen & Alex Brutin, we hosted Demo Days at Google Mountain View, London (Rune Bentien), Singapore (Anne Caron), Bangalore (Anshu Surana Amit Agrawal), Chicago (Joseph Holberg), Los Angeles (David B.) and many other events. We now have 300+ events each year globally ?? with 33,000+ members. As a non-profit foundation we will now be able to strengthen our organization and benefits to our members. Xooglers/Googlers, join us in 30 minutes to learn how you can be a part of this exciting future to support even more of your Xoogler colleagues!

?? Methane is a greenhouse gas with a warming potential roughly 87x that of CO? over a 20 year period, and cattle burps—technically called enteric methanogenesis—account for 27% of the U.S.’s annual methane emissions.?? Reducing methane could be the fastest way to slow global warming, and Alga Biosciences is leading the charge with a feed additive made of kelp that has the potential to make a massive impact in agriculture, offering a scalable inexpensive solution to a previously unavoidable problem. ?? Founded by Alex Brown and his two cofounders?(PhD candidates at??UC Berkeley), Alga Biosciences uses biochemistry to tackle methane emissions right at their source, and turn farmers into climate?heroes.????? Join us on Nov 19 for an exclusive event of our Xooglers in Climate Founder Series. Alex will share how he navigated startup challenges, developed algae tech to work at scale, and built trust within the cattle industry—creating a true win-win for farmers and the planet. Hosted by Veronique Lafargue, Founder and Marketing Advisor.
