Top Investors: Y Combinator, Zillionize, Wei Guo

Description:

TAXA Biotechnologies enable cheaper, faster, and better genetic engineering of plants. They offer our platform both as a service to other companies and use it internally to develop our own engineered plants. We make money from platform access service fees and from royalties on the sale of the final products. Our first product is a Glowing Plant, which was the first Kickstarter for a synthetic biology application earning us over $600k in pre-orders. We are also close to shipping a Fragrant Moss.
