Leather is one of the most versatile, durable, and desirable materials in fashion. No animal-free replacement has been able to meet the top performance specs, until Gozen.

General Sense is building the chemical sensing layer for artificial intelligence. The company’s Nose-Computer Interface (NCI) reads neural signals directly from a dog’s olfactory bulb — the point where raw molecular information converges in the brain — and translates them into digital data in real time. This is not a better detection dog; it is […]

Cauldron is unlocking the future of food, feed and fibre at a global scale. As the world grapples with a growing need for protein, and faces environmental challenges such as climate change, the need for planet-friendly foods and ingredients, animal feeds, and medicines, will be crucial to humanity’s need to survive. Precision fermentation holds the […]

Prolific Machines combines cutting-edge technologies to enable cell production at a new scale. We are redefining how cells are produced for a more sustainable, healthy, and exciting future. Prolific Machines aims to combat climate change, reduce the cost of biologics production, and make cell therapy accessible to everyone.

Xias Bio is a biotechnology company focused on developing sustainable, animal-free protein alternatives with excellent product-market fit. The company engineers high-performance recombinant proteins that supersede animal-derived proteins such as collagen, keratin, and elastin. Using its proprietary LiteProtein™ platform, Xias Bio creates multifunctional proteins and peptide complexes that combine the functions of several conventional proteins into […]

Tidal Vision is the only commercial scale US-based manufacturer of chitosan, a non-toxic, non-hazmat, biodegradable and market-proven industrial biopolymer extracted from crab shells. Tidal Vision’s zero-waste chitosan extraction process produces by far the most consistent quality and lowest cost chitosan in the industry. Tidal Vision converts chitosan from different into ready-to-use formulas that are optimized […]

At least 1.7 billion people worldwide rely on contaminated drinking water, resulting in over 500,000 deaths per year. Concerningly, bacteria have grown resistant to standard water treatment chemicals like chlorine, which can no longer kill slimes (“biofilms”) that protect harmful bacteria and fungi and attach them to surfaces in our water infrastructure. Aequor discovered marine […]

AlkaLi Labs is working on a biological platform for the extraction of valuable minerals from unconventional water sources such as oilfield brine waste streams.

Allied Microbiota develops microbes to degrade environmental contaminants. Our technology can tackle the most recalcitrant organic pollutants such as polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and dioxins. Field tests with tons of soil at a commercial facility demonstrated that our launch product, ThermO+, can quickly and cost effectively breakdown PAHs and degrade the air contaminant formaldehyde.

AquaLith manufactures next-generation batteries and battery materials. We have developed new material chemistries that enable consumer electronic devices and electric vehicles to spend significantly less time charging their batteries. These new technologies are safer, higher energy density, less expensive and operate efficiently down to very low temperatures. AquaLith’s capabilities significantly expand lithium-ion energy density beyond […]
