ArgenTAG

Pre Seed Round in 2022
argenTAG barcoding technology addresses a main limitation of emerging long-read sequencing applications: reduced multiplexing capacity with high compromise of the sequencing throughput. We make synthetic DNA barcodes for sequencing thousands of samples simultaneously. We carefully reengineered state of art error correction technologies, originally developed in the field of digital communications, to achieve a systematic design of reliable barcoding systems for ubiquitous long-read sequencing technology applications.

Nat4Bio

Seed Round 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.
