RenewVerse turns food and agricultural by-products into PFAS-free biosurfactants through precision fermentation, while using AI to guide formulation and bioprocess scale-up. Its RNV-RL rhamnolipids are designed as renewable alternatives to petrochemical surfactants, with applications ranging from cleaning products to personal care. The company also develops Augur, a physics-informed AI platform that predicts production economics from as few as five lab runs.

Quorum BioQuorum Bio is a startup developing genetic-engineering tools that use diverse microbes to produce complex natural molecules through precision fermentation. Inspired by research from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and accelerated by the Activate Fellowship, the company is pursuing nature-based ingredients for human health and agriculture, including novel bioactives and crop-health products.NEW YORK, NY
Mothership MaterialsMothership Materials turns industrial agriculture and food-processing waste into non-food-competitive feedstocks for biomanufacturing. Its patented modular technology works at waste sources, beginning with Microbe Munch, a sugar developed specifically to feed microbes in precision-fermentation processes. The company also targets cellulose recovery for fiber production and scale-ready pricing for bioprocess operators.
Regenerative Solutions IncorporatedSpun off from the University at Albany, SUNY in September 2021, Regenerative Solutions Incorporated develops environmental engineering technologies that turn organic waste into higher-value products and address PFAS contamination. Its work includes converting food waste, sewage sludge, and animal manure into renewable biochemicals and sustainable aviation-fuel inputs, along with plant-based and clay-based approaches to PFAS removal. Founder and CEO Dr. Yanna Liang leads the company with a research-focused team.SLINGERLANDS, NY
