At Brightloom, we are working to revolutionize restaurants through innovative technology and design. We are disrupting an industry worth $900 billion globally with partnerships in North America, Asia, and soon other continents. Our unique, world-class team combines software and hardware engineers, designers, and industry experts to push the boundaries on re-engineering every aspect of the restaurant experience. We believe any restaurant brand should be able to engage customers digitally using a seamless combination of mobile, omni-channel ordering and loyalty offerings. Up until now, only a select few brands could afford, or knew how to put together a top-notch digital engagement and ordering platform. We are building a platform that allows any restaurant brand to create their own version of a world-class digital flywheel ecosystem. Brightloom’s configurable technology suite combines convenience (digital ordering channels), personal connection (personalized marketing) and engagement (loyalty) for restaurant brands in today’s new digital era.

Clara Foods™ is working towards a disruptive advance in food technology by creating the world’s first animal-free egg white and a slew of other performance protein products for sports nutrition, baking, and industrial uses. We join a new generation of entrepreneurs, activists and scientists who recognize that the decades-old factory farm model cannot sustain the dietary needs of 7 billion people and counting –and that technology may hold a solution.

Culture Biosciences develops automated bio-reactor that helps biotech companies optimize their manufacturing processes and brings products to market faster. The company also builds automated tools for fermentation. It has a digital bio-manufacturing platform to enable scientists to run, monitor, and analyze bio-reactors faster than traditional approaches by robotic sample handling and cloud data monitoring and analysis.

The EVERY Co., headquartered in South San Francisco, is a market leader in engineering, manufacturing and formulating animal-free, animal proteins as ingredients for the global food and beverage industry. Originally founded as Clara Foods in 2014, EVERY™ rebranded in 2021 to better capture its vision to bring animal-free proteins to everyone, everywhere.

With more than 190 stores in Brazil and Colombia, the Lavoro Group stands out in Agribusiness as the largest distributor of agricultural inputs in Latin America.

Reimagining the art and science of plant breeding. Through the interplay of cutting-edge molecular breeding and quantitative genetics, we seek to effectively define and efficiently traverse the fitness landscape of hard to breed crops. In this way, we aim to accelerate genetic gain toward crop improvements that sustainably support the world’s growing population.

Map the microbes in your soil to grow your bottom line. Pattern Ag is developing a recommendation and product discovery platform centered around a deep understanding of soil. We are leveraging advances in genomics, robotics, and high-resolution agronomic data to build this knowledge, in service of improving farm profitability.

Stenon is a laboratory independent real-time soil analyst that offers solutions for agriculture.

The Production Board is a San Francisco-based technology incubator and investment holding company. We aim to improve the efficiency and economics of global food and agriculture markets. To realize this mandate, we conduct deep research into fundamental problems in the food and agriculture value chain and identify opportunities where technology may enable new operating models or improved end products. We then found, build, and capitalize companies based on these theses. In some cases, we identify external companies already pursuing this work and support them with capital and strategic partnership.

Tillable is the first true online marketplace for the $32 billion U.S. farmland rental market, optimizing returns for landowners and helping farmers access land to expand operations.

We discover the 1 in a million 10,000x faster. Harnessing evolution means giving nature the time and space to find complex solutions. Current technology falls fall short of the scale required to accelerate this process. The current state of the art is to rely on technology like liquid-handling robotics to look for a 1-in-a-million solution using a method that can only search through thousands of samples. At Triplebar, we measure the effect of billions of mutations. We oversample the genome every day and use this capacity to quickly find solutions to the greatest problems we face.

We see a future where biotechnology improves the sustainability of food supply production, processing, and packaging. We aim to be a disruptive force to solve environmental issues that are intractable today. Our approach to molecule, organism, and process engineering allows us to accelerate the rate that we deeply understand and apply biology.
