Investors

Our mission is to lead the next wave of improvements in green chemistry and biocatalysis.

This will allow us to significantly reduce costs, time, and environmental impacts, while enabling the production of novel, complex ingredients.

Our core, multi-scale platform technology can be applied across the enzyme value chain, easily adapted and optimized for processes across a diverse range of markets – pharma, food & beverage, flavors & fragrances, and crop protection.

Growth from R&D to process implementation

Problem

Biocatalysis offers a more efficient and sustainable way to speed up chemical reactions. However, with limited ways to use and deploy enzymes, the field is wide open for a strong innovative and economic impact on the sector. New processes need to foster innovation while lowering costs and increasing precision.

Solution

Our innovative, cell-free technology combines the precision and efficiency of enzyme processes with the ease and scalability of fermentation.

We work closely with our customers to understand their needs and develop flexible, scalable processes using enzymes from industrial bioprocessing to advanced manufacturing. We serve customers across diverse markets including pharma, food & beverage, flavors & fragrances, and agriculture. We are always looking for more opportunities to apply our disruptive technologies to further advance the use of enzymes.

With an eye towards commercialization, we are developing innovative solutions for our clients:

Revenue Models & Markets

With our core enzyme technology spanning industrial segments in the enzyme value chains, we have currently identified applications for our technology in more than ten different markets.

  1. Pharmaceutical ingredients
  2. Life science products
  3. Crop protection ingredients
  4. Flavors and fragrances
  5. Food and beverage ingredients
  6. Sweeteners
  7. Nutraceutical ingredients
  8. Cosmetic ingredients
  9. Dairy processing
  10. Industrial biotechnology

We provide stabilized enzymes as ingredients for crop protection to the agricultural sector, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides. For industries in need of manufacturing complex ingredients, including the food & beverage, flavors & fragrances, and pharma markets, we can develop high-yield, sustainable enzyme-based processes. Finally, for the nutraceuticals sector, we provide custom ingredients produced with enzymes. Within these markets, we address three specific entry points in the enzyme value chain.

1. Immobilized and stabilized enzymes
2. Immobilization materials and processes for enzymes
3. Ingredients made with immobilized enzymes (HMOs)

Traction

We have commercial contracts and our research is supported by peer-reviewed grants, totaling $5 million since inception.

To execute, we have established an experienced and growing team geared towards innovation, scale up, and commercialization of our products. Our expertise spans multiple sectors, with our board of technical advisors able to take experience from the pharma, food & beverages, agriculture, and enzyme industries. Our board of managers consists of global experts across strategic industrial sectors.
