Yield Lab Europe led the pre-Series A round, which will fund international expansion and team growth.

"We’ve spent the past 18 months developing our platform and validating peptide candidates with expert third parties and commercial partners. We’re really excited by the results and feel that we’re ready to take the next step towards commercialising our technology. With the issue of food security, and effective crop protection becoming an increasingly pressing issue for the agriculture industry and governments worldwide, there is an urgent need for sustainable environmentally-friendly alternatives to current synthetic pesticides. We’re confident that our technology provides the solution and has the potential to make a huge impact."
— Shireen Davies, CEO
£1.0M

The funding will support production scale-up and market entry for the company's carbon-based agricultural biostimulants.

"We are thrilled with this new, exciting stage for Glaia. Many climate friendly technologies tackle the issue of emissions directly – but we decided to approach the problem from the other direction. What if we could improve current productivity without increasing the carbon footprint?"
— David Benito, CEO
