Last night, SOSV's IndieBio, Ontario Government | Gouvernement de l’Ontario’s Trade & Investment Office, and Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) co-hosted an insightful panel discussion on the importance of building a global company from day one, moderated by Stephen Chambers. 

We heard from 2X fabulous deep tech startup founders - Steve George, CEO Terra Bioindustries and Oliver Worsley, PhD, CEO of Sequential - The Skin Microbiome Testing Co™ - who shared their strategies for growth through global ecosystems. 

CJ Lim, Singapore EDB's Regional Director and Aaron Joshua Pinto, Consul & Senior Economic Officer at Ontario Trade & Investment Office in New York each shared valuable insights on how national and regional economic development organizations can provide invaluable support for founders along the way.

Thank you ACE for your partnership and making this event possible, and to all of our co-organizers Rovik Robert Charley Ford Aaron Joshua Pinto CJ Lim Madeline Behr 🌏

I tasted cultured meat made using light instead of growth factors and got to spend time with the *very* smart founders of Prolific Machines, Inc. Deniz Kent, PhD Declan Jones and Max Huisman. I'll be linking to a PDF of my story for The Information in my next newsletter, which you can sign up for here:  https://lnkd.in/gsGU4aSW cc Nicki Heverling Briggs, MS, RDN Eric Schulze, PhD

After four years working behind the scenes, today Prolific Machines unveils our first-of-its-kind biotechnology platform to the world.

Prolific is the first to use light — safe and abundant — to produce everyday essentials, from nutritional proteins and lifesaving drugs to cultivated meat. Our photomolecular biology platform delivers unprecedented control, precisely guiding cellular behavior when and where it matters most.

This technology debut is coupled with the close of our milestone $55M Series B1 fundraise, led by Ki Tua Fund CVC of Fonterra Co-operative Group. We could not be more grateful to partner with Ki Tua Fund on this journey and for the continued support of our long-time investors Breakthrough Energy Cooper Rinzler Mayfield Fund Arvind Gupta IndieBio Po Bronson SOSV Continental Grain Company Shorewind Capital Darco Capital In-Q-Tel (IQT) Robert Downey Jr.'s FootPrint Coalition Matthew Katz and many more.

This announcement marks our next chapter as a commercial organization. We are excited to unveil partnerships with industry leaders in cellular agriculture, pharmaceuticals, nutritional proteins, and beyond. Stay tuned for details in the coming months, and get in touch at partners@prolific-machines.com if you're interested in co-developing the future of biology with us. 

A huge thank you to our amazing team for making today a reality and helping us illuminate biology’s limitless potential for a healthier, more sustainable tomorrow.
