One of the few times that I thought seriously about wanting to invest in a company (but it was not available to the public) was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioSteel_(fiber). It sounded so cool, in the 1990s. A few months after I learned about it, my sister encountered them as a possible internship for her veterinary technologist certificate program because they needed someone to care for the transgenic goats.
