Our story
Our co-founder Alexander Kraus has co-invented a serum that gives crops a 25 to 50% increase in yield. The climate impact is clear. Thanks to this solution, we can feed more people with less space and less co2.
It took us 4 years to procure funding for this project. 4 years! When lives are at stake, this time is too long.
We saw the funding gap. We now build the solution.
