IndieBio has not seen a foodtech company take off this fast since we funded NotCo in 2017.

FloUV makes UV-C sterilization systems that are 4x cheaper and draw 10x less electricity than existing systems. These are used throughout the liquids and beverages sector – both in supply chains and in processing/packaging – across dairy, juices, coffee, syrups, water and water treatment, and even packaged pharmaceuticals and supplements.

You might take food safety for granted, but the world’s processors do not. FloUV’s system uses precision dosing and advanced fluid dynamics for highly targeted performance customized for every customer. We funded this company in July, and by the end of September, we had already shipped and tested pilot units that process 800 liters per hour. This has resulted in orders for units 20x to 30x larger, and we are currently negotiating over $5M in sales – all of which we intend to realize in 2026.

This company is riding the trend for gentler processing that doesn’t degrade bioactive proteins, potent flavor compounds, and critical nutrients. Yes, you can taste the difference! As consumers demand the quality of fresh food, but at the affordability and scale of processed food, FloUV is rapidly finding applications everywhere.
