𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰. Today, I'm incredibly excited to announce the official launch of Differential Bio, an new venture I'm building with Martin Patz and Dong (Xiangdong) Zhao to power the next generation of biomanufacturing champions. To that end, we have raised a €2m pre-seed round to fuel the development of our Virtual Scale-up Platform. It cuts R&D cycle times and removes scale-up barriers by integrating robotic lab automation and computational modeling. If we're doing things right, we can drive a 10x improvement in bioproduct development, which trickles down to affordable bio-based products in our everyday lives. This makes me excited to go to work every day, and we will relentlessly push to make this vision a reality. We’re hiring across wet and dry lab roles. If you’re excited to shape the future of biomanufacturing, check out the job openings in the comments. ⬇️ More details in our press release below. ⬇️

Exciting times at Soldera! We’ve just raised €2.5M—led by Lifeline Ventures with participation from Skaala, Lemonade Stand, and others—to scale our AI-powered platform for managing and trading Guarantees of Origin (GOs). We’re already seeing 32% month-over-month growth as we onboard utility-scale clients like Utilitas, and we’re proud to be featured in Tech.eu for our innovative approach. Historically, GOs have been a headache—manual, fragmented, time-consuming, and often neglected. Our all-star team, with experience from billion-dollar companies (Glia, Trimble Inc., Elektrum Lietuva) and fast-scaling startups (eAgronom, Sixfold), is tackling this challenge head-on. By automating the entire process—from issuance to spot sale or forward-hedging—we give renewable energy producers back their time, maximize the profits of every certificate, and unlock buyers that were previously out of reach. We’re excited to build the critical infrastructure this industry urgently needs and grateful for the support of our investors and partners on this journey! 🔗: https://lnkd.in/dK4VBQfB
