Izote Biosciences

Izote Bio is a cutting-edge startup specializing in the production of high-performance small molecules and proteins for the fragrance, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries. The company operates in the industrial biomanufacturing market, leveraging its proprietary fermentation technology to offer a more efficient and cost-effective solution compared to traditional methods.

Izote Bio's unique approach involves using an alternative molecule that is 100,000 times more soluble than oxygen. This molecule dissolves in the cell media, eliminating the need for traditional aeration methods such as air compressors, blowers, and agitators. This innovation allows their microbial hosts to "breathe" without oxygen, enabling a simpler and more productive fermentation process. The result is a highly predictable scaling of performance, the ability to extend fermentation runs for days, and the use of low-cost bioreactors.

The company's business model is centered around manufacturing and supplying these specialized molecules and proteins to clients in the fragrance, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical sectors. By offering a superior fermentation process, Izote Bio can significantly reduce operational expenses (OPEX) by up to 50%, energy costs by up to 70%, and capital expenditures (CAPEX) by up to 90%. This not only makes their products more affordable but also shortens the scale-up time by years and removes limitations on tank size and dimensions.

Izote Bio generates revenue by selling these high-performance molecules and proteins to its clients, who benefit from the cost savings and efficiency gains provided by Izote's advanced fermentation technology. The company also collaborates with industry partners to further refine and expand its technological capabilities.
