We have a WILD idea
What if we could unleash the true power of microbes to make high-performance ingredients?
We have big challenges to solve, and old microbes just won't cut it.
We believe that many (if not most) chemicals, ingredients, and materials should be made by microbes.
This is the future potential of biomanufacturing: To build a sustainable economy that is supplied with green, renewable inputs.
To arrive at this future, we are using synthetic biology to turn microbes into production factories. From emulsifiers and cleansers, to vitamins and supplements, to industrial chemicals, our microbes have a distinct advantage because they’re unlike anything the industry has ever seen.
There are estimated to be ~1 trillion microbial species on Earth: what an incredible opportunity.
We find the best microbes that nature has to offer, sourcing them from diverse, wild biomes. Their inherent traits mean huge cost savings in biomanufacturing and access to new categories of products.
We’ve built a way to tap into millions of unexplored microbial species. Each one is a potential source of new, high-performing molecules with properties chemistry alone can’t match. With this discovery engine, we’re not limited to one product — we’re building a pipeline of better ingredients.
Working with innovative partners, we harness the potential of Earth’s microbial abundance. Come explore the microbial universe with us!
