Next Sequence

Beneficial Bio is a network of social enterprises run by biologists which aims to change the status quo for access to biological tools from scarcity to abundance, accelerating research, innovation and education for the bioeconomy. Beneficial Bio’s short term impact is accelerating and scaling local research. Our long term impact is increasing the agency of more people to shape biotechnology, particularly solving local problems without reliance on foreign priorities and developing resilient and autonomous supply chains for research and diagnostics. 

Helping patients fight treatment-resistant cancer. resistanceBio can discover and overcome clinical treatment resistance pre-clinically.

ImmunoMind is a UC Berkeley SkyDeck alumnus company. ImmunoMind helps biotech companies understand crucial drug-human interactions, and transform the biodata chaos into more effective immunotherapies.

After earning his Ph.D. in Biomaterials & Bioengineering from ETH Zurich, Alexandre played a pivotal role in establishing Switzerland's first cultivated meat production line, leading the development of innovative bioreactor designs, bioprocessing techniques, and bio-based materials for cultivating stem cells, muscle, and fat tissues.

Currently, Alexandre is actively involved with Next Sequence as a Venture Associate, where he supports TechBio startups in the Food & Agriculture sector. 

Eden Bio uses machine learning to improve protein yield, saving companies time and money, and helping them get their proteins to market faster.

Biomemory creates DNA Drives for large corporates and administrations. We organize and store data on biocompatible DNA molecules.

At BravelyCultured we are redesigning precision fermentation in order to optimise it for sustainable food production. We take inspiration (as well as microorganisms, seawater and seaweed!) from the ocean to produce animal-free animal proteins in an economically viable way and at scale.

NatureBound is on a mission to regenerate the biodiversity that underpins our food systems.

Combining the latest technology in remote sensing and AI with an open ecosystem of monitoring providers, our ML models leverage scalable biodiversity monitoring to predict agricultural outcomes. Integrating agricultural and biodiversity data across monitoring suppliers into our platform enables a swifter and more profitable transition to sustainable agriculture.

Making siloed biodiversity a thing of the past, NatureBound is building the first Biodiversity Observability Platform.

Spira creates carbon negative materials from genetically engineered algae grown by a global network of farming partners to produce ingredients for food, cosmetic and textile companies.
