Since the industrial revolution, advancements in manufacturing have enabled mass consumerism to grow exponentially. However consumers are quickly becoming aware of their impact on the environment, demanding more from brands. Enter synthetic biology. Soon we will be able to produce a large share of the global economy's physical materials, without compromising on performance and sustainability. Insempra bridges the gap between synbio R&D and scalable, industrial manufacturing for brands. We believe the Insempra team can accelerate the creation of sustainable alternatives to traditional materials and we’re excited to back them on their journey.

Meat has formed part of humankind’s diet since the first humans and still today, billions of people around the world consume meat on a daily basis. However the impacts on climate, animals, and the environment from producing meat in the 21st century is clearer than ever before. We can do better. Meatable is pioneering a way of producing real meat in a lab from cells in weeks, not years. Identical on every level without any of the drawbacks. Meatable’s patented opti-ox™ technology offers exciting cost efficiencies and the ability to build scalable meat production without the harm. We’re excited to watch Meatable build the future of food.

The world’s population is forecast to peak at 10.5 billion around 2050 and while the progress in renewables is encouraging, they cannot provide enough energy for humankind without an ongoing reliance on fossil fuels. In order to sustain economic growth and overcome climate change, the world needs to develop alternatives. We’re excited to back the Marvel Fusion team who’re building a reliable, commercially-viable nuclear fusion power plant. Marvel’s unique design has a genuine shot to get us to clean, safe, abundant power in the next decade to complement intermittent renewables on a pathway to a carbon-free energy grid.
