Leadership is extremely pretentious and does not know how to run a successful company. As a result, Seed is having an identity crisis and is struggling to remain authentic and relevant. The CEO doesn’t have a genuine bone in her body and very much appears to be taking the strategy of “fake it till you make it.” The CSO is just there to collect a paycheck and has a foot out the door. The CMO came from a failed and delisted biotech company and is running Seed into the ground now too. Seed is a one trick pony who got lucky with DS-01–a now dated product that pales in comparison to what other companies are doing in the gut health space. Their new products are a poor attempt at a quick revenue boost without proper care and consideration for product longevity. It’s unlikely anyone will acquire this company and they’ll just keep spinning in circles until the capital is drained.
