概要

 This startup made edible tape for burritos. But can a viral product idea become a real sustainable packaging company? In this episode of Capital Calling, Marie Eric, Founder and CEO of Tastee Tape, pitches a biomaterials company developing edible, compostable, and biodegradable packaging film designed to replace conventional plastic food wrap. What began as a student project at Johns Hopkins to stop burritos from falling apart quickly exploded online, but the bigger opportunity turned out to be much broader than burritos. Tastee Tape is now building plant-based flexible packaging designed to be food-safe, moisture-resistant, home-compostable, and strong enough to compete with the performance demands of traditional plastic. The company’s story is no longer just about virality. Through customer discovery and early traction, Tastee Tape identified a much larger problem in food packaging: businesses want sustainable alternatives, but most options still fail on performance, scalability, or cost. Tastee Tape is positioning itself as a biomaterials platform for flexible packaging, with ambitions to serve foodservice and packaging supply chains at scale through manufacturing and licensing. Across the table, investors Zac Geinzer of Commonweal Ventures, Ella Molony Cook of DFX, and Max Rivera of GHOST Angels engage with the pitch as it unfolds. They examine whether Tastee Tape’s plant-based film can truly compete with plastic on performance and price, whether a product that first captured attention as “burrito tape” can grow into a serious materials company, and whether this unusual wedge is quirky enough to go viral yet credible enough to become venture-backable. Capital Calling provides a behind-the-scenes look at a real pitch from both sides of the table. Each episode begins with a live founder pitch and product demo, followed by direct investor questioning. After the pitch, investors enter into a private debrief conversation where they debate the opportunity openly: without the founder present. The founder, on the other hand, enters the On-Call Room to discuss the pitch one-on-one from their perspective. Then, the investors give their verdicts, where feedback is delivered candidly and decisions are made. Produced by Coeus Collective in partnership with the NYU Stern Berkeley Center for Entrepreneurship, Capital Calling offers founders, operators, students, and investors an unfiltered look at how early-stage investment decisions actually happen, and what separates compelling ideas from fundable companies. Founders pitch live. Investors decide.
