Plantruption

Seed Round in 2022
Plantruption builds a brand of sustainability to develop products using seaweed and microalgae. The company is on a mission to create the first plant-based seafood. It researches and collaborates with universities and food technologists to provides Plant-based seafood that’s close in taste and texture to the real deal. Plant-based seafood provides a host of environmental benefits, including alleviating pressures on rapidly depleting fisheries, providing relief to fragile ocean ecosystems, reducing the impact of fishing nets on the ocean plastic problem, and reducing production emissions. The company was founded in 2019 in Dublin, Dublin.

Prospective Research

Convertible Note in 2022
Prospective Research, Inc. is a biotechnology company based in Beverly, Massachusetts, focused on developing innovative solutions for the aquaculture industry and antibiotic discovery. Established in 2015, the company utilizes its advanced technology platforms, including MicrobeMiner and GeneMiner, to access untapped antibiotics from soil-dwelling microbes. By employing microbial signaling molecules, Prospective Research creates feed incorporated preventative disease management solutions that eliminate the need for traditional antibiotics and medicated feed. Their approach involves modulating bacterial behavior and introducing trillions of beneficial bacteria into the microbiomes of farmed species such as fin-fish, shrimp, and shellfish. This technology enables the selective activation of genes that produce bio-active therapeutics, offering protection against various pathogens while enhancing the health of aquaculture species.
