Bindbridge develops an AI-driven platform for the discovery and design of targeted protein degradation in agriculture. The company creates molecular glues to deliver next-generation crop protection products.
Cambridge-based agricultural biotechnology company Bindbridge has secured £2.9m in early-stage funding. The investment was backed by Speedinvest and Nucleus Capital. The company plans to use the proceeds to accelerate platform engineering, grow its team, and conduct lab testing for its agricultural molecular glues.
From the founder
"The agricultural industry faces significant performance and sustainability challenges which is driving demand for more efficient products. Yet there’s no affordable, rational, or systematic way to discover molecular glues that are the foundation for such products. We’re changing that. We’re using the power of AI to rapidly and accurately derive new molecules that can change farming’s future."

Investor perspective
"We invested because Bindbridge is bringing modern AI to one of the most overlooked and consequential industries on Earth. They’re building the BRIDGE platform for the next generation of crop protection, unlocking entirely new chemical space that the industry simply couldn’t reach before. This is the rare combination of deep science, a massive market, and a team that can build the foundation for the next era of crop protection."
