The Big List of Microbiome Companies and Investors

Posted 14th July 2017 by Jane Williams

A critical point in any field of research is that of commercialisation; when research builds to the point that the dam bursts, bottlenecks open and opportunities are ripe. 2016 saw the largest peak in microbiome investment since 2012 when the CRISPR-Cas9 ‘instructions’ were published.

Major companies on the scene include Second Genome, Enterome, and EpiBiome but new start-ups enter the race each day. Amongst the most active investors are Seventure Partners, Flagship Pioneering and BioGaia.

Here we’ve compiled a list of 119 microbiome companies, investors and dates active. Whether you’re just curious or are looking for an investor from seed to series, you’re sure to find something useful.

Thank you for this, our company is finalising trials with our product Kfibre to show anti-inflammation bowel results and Acid Reflux/GERD as well as being an excellent prebiotic like all of these things good science takes time and then finding the right company to assist with commercialisation take just as long and this list helps.
