Animal-free growth media for the cultivated meat industry.
Cultivated meat brings an 87% reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions, along with 96% less freshwater use and 99% less land use to produce the same amount of meat.

Multus Media develops the key ingredient to make cultivated meat affordable and profitable. Livestock agriculture contributes to 15% of all greenhouse gas emission globally which is more than the entire transportation sector combined. Cultivated meat brings an 87% reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions, along with 96% less freshwater use and 99% less land use to produce the same amount of meat. ​

This is why our mission is to design growth media that provides a collective benefit to the whole industry by lowering entry barriers, shortening routes to market, and supporting scale. Multus Media is accelerating the forefront of an industry that will replace the devastating impacts of livestock agriculture.

Fighting mosquitoes with mosquitoes
Mosquitoes kill nearly a million humans every year and infect 700 million more with diseases like Zika virus, malaria, and yellow fever.

Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue, Zika and malaria infect hundreds of millions every year. Global warming is driving these mosquitoes to spread rapidly, endangering many more.

Diptera.ai’s technology cuts the cost of sterile insect control (SIT) – a natural and highly efficient insect birth control method – to make it a widespread solution against mosquitoes. Diptera.ai combines computer vision and deep biological knowledge to fight mosquitoes and their diseases. Diptera.ai uses non-GMO technology that eliminates the need to build a mosquito rearing and sorting facility near every release site.

"First we will win the war against mosquitoes, but our long-term goal is to free humanity from both pests and pesticides."

Harnessing polyphosphate to treat serious bleeding
Across all sources of bleeding, the probability of death increases 1 % for every 3 minutes of uncontrolled hemorrhage.

Serious bleeding is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and outcomes are linked to how quickly hemostasis can be achieved. Excessive bleeding is a global threat that can affect all populations, but is especially critical for patients on anticoagulant therapy or those who have a rare bleeding disorder. Cayuga Biotech’s mission is to harness the potential of polyphosphate to address uncontrolled bleeding episodes.

CAY001 is a first-in-class drug which aims to accelerate the body’s natural clotting response even in patients with compromised platelet function. Unlike natural platelets, CAY001 is can be mass-manufactured, is stable at room temperature, and does not require type matching, allowing it to be deployed with first responders.

Damien Kudela, Ph.D., CEO
"Bleeding causes a lot of negative outcomes for patients, so stopping the bleeding has many benefits. Not only are you saving their lives by reducing blood loss, but you can actually reduce the time it takes for them to heal as well."

Next-generation microbiome femcare for a healthy urinary tract
50% of women will get a urinary tract infection during their lifetime.

P.Happi’s bioactive ingredient continuously protects, restores and balances your intimate skin. Our products calm your urogenital area which can be irritated and damaged by antibiotic therapies and harmful bacteria living in your gut and colonizing women’s intimate area. Unhealthy food, irritation, and changes in pH lead to reduced urogenital comfort making it easier for bad bacteria to grow on your skin.

P.Happi’s ACTIVE COMPONENT kills the harmful bacteria and activates the skin’s natural ability to repair and protect itself, thereby boosting your natural immune system to promote a healthy woman’s intimate microbiome.

Chiara Heide, Ph.D., CEO
By fighting these bad bacteria, it gives the good bacteria room to colonize the vaginal area. This is what balances and promotes the good bacteria in the intimate area.

The future of long-term pathogen protection with cutting-edge antimicrobial solutions
15 minutes after cleaning a surface with bleach, the bleach disappears, and a surface can be recolonized by nearby microorganisms. Now ask yourself: how often are surfaces cleaned with disinfectants?

AvantGuard™, formerly Halomine, is revolutionizing the fight against harmful pathogens with our innovative technology that provides long-term protection against viruses, bacteria, and fungi/mold. Our proprietary combinations of specialty molecules and polymers are customized to deliver prolonged antimicrobial efficacy to a wide range of surfaces and materials, making them ideal for use in healthcare, food processing, and hospitality industries.

Did you know that hospital-acquired infections and food-borne illnesses cost the world over $100B annually? Unlike current disinfectants that only offer temporary (15-minute) protection, AvantGuard’s groundbreaking technology effectively holds chlorine from standard disinfectants on surfaces for as long as a month, extending the lifetime and overall utility of chlorine to continuously protect a variety of surfaces.

Halomine Inc. was founded in 2018 as a Cornell University-based spin-out company. Since then, we have partnered with world-renowned universities, programs, incubators, and scientists to expand on our original research. We have also licensed N-halamine technology from both Cornell and Auburn University, where they have been working on N-halamine development for 30 years. Our technology has been recognized with several grants, awards, and partnerships with leading organizations in surface protection and beyond.

Making any plastic biodegradable
Humankind has generated more than 9 billion tons of plastic, and 79% of this plastic ended up in a landfill.

Every year, 8 million tons of plastic end up in the oceans, while only 9% of plastic in the US is recycled. Current recycling methodologies have been unable to break down some of the most commonly produced plastics.

Scindo can recycle the unrecyclable. They are creating a novel biological platform for low-energy, green and economical recycling that turns low-value plastic waste into high-value compounds that can be used in a variety of industries. Specifically, they target some of the most-produced plastics globally that currently cannot be efficiently recycled, so we can put an end to plastics in landfills.

Gustaf Hemberg, CEO
“By discarding plastics after a single use, all the capital put in to extract and manufacture the plastic is lost. If we can find a way to turn that plastic into something useful, we’re closing the loop in the circular economy of plastics.”
