Nat4Bio

Convertible Note in 2022
At NAT4Bio, we develop naturally-sourced coatings that protect produce from spoilage and decay. By leveraging microbial fermentation of selected fungi & bacteria and through carefully designed downstream processes, we obtain cell-free compounds, meaning we use microbes' active principles without the microbes themselves. Our first product is a natural and edible coating for fresh lemons that could potentially replace the combination of waxes and chemical fungicides. We are also prototyping formulations for blueberries and avocados, and we aim to expand our portfolio to address the needs of every fruit class.

ArgenTAG

Convertible Note in 2022
ArgenTAG specializes in developing synthetic DNA barcoding technology aimed at enhancing the capabilities of long-read sequencing applications in genomics.
