The project
Myrias is a global venture studio for animal welfare. Nonprofit or for-profit, we build whatever the problem needs and aim it at the largest, most neglected sources of suffering. The evidence sets our priorities, and the evidence points first to China, where more than half of the world's farm animals are raised. We are looking for a talent for researching new areas.
