Sara Jones
Vice President
General Inception and Vertical Venture Partners back Planet Smart to support research and product trials.
"Every parent knows the guilt of throwing away nappies. The first thing we do to babies the moment they’re born is wrap them in plastic. I want to change that by creating smarter biomaterials that my daughter won’t have to clean up in thirty years’ time,"
The seed round was led by Ahren to commercialise research from the Medical Research Council.
"I am pleased that we have attracted significant support and seed funding to establish Constructive Bio and capture this opportunity. By taking inspiration from nature and reimagining what life can become we have the opportunity to build the sustainable industries of the future."
