WHAT THEY DO
A biomanufacturing company rebuilding the multi-trillion-dollar chemicals and materials industry on biology instead of petroleum. GB engineers a fast-growing, contamination-resistant non-model organism to convert renewable carbohydrates into industrial chemicals at near-complete yield in safe, room-temperature processes, enabling small, modular plastic bioreactors that "scale out" in parallel rather than relying on massive stainless-steel tanks. It is starting with commodity chemicals and aims to re-domesticate chemical production close to feedstock and customers.
Specialty chemicals, Bio-derived materials, US reshoring, LatAm manufacturing

WHY WE INVESTED
We invested because biomanufacturing has promised to remake the chemical industry for decades and never scaled, defeated by slow organisms and unpredictable economics. General Biological staked itself on a different organism, fast and hardy enough to run in cheap, modular reactors. If they've cracked the constraint that stopped everyone before, the prize is a chemical industry rebuilt on renewable carbon.
