AlgaleX is a food technology and biotechnology company that develops AI-powered algae fermentation technology to produce sustainable food ingredients, nutritional compounds, and bioproducts. The company leverages proprietary AI-driven cultivation and fermentation systems to convert underutilized food byproducts into high-value microalgae rich innutrients such as DHA, umami compounds, and other functional ingredients. Its mission is to build a circular bioeconomy by reducing food waste while providing sustainable alternatives to marine- and animal-derived ingredients.The company's core technology is Touji-24, an AI-powered algae cultivation and fermentation control system that automates and optimizes microalgae production. Using proprietary fermentation processes and food byproducts such as awamori lees, AlgaleX cultivates algae that can be used to produce Umamo, a plant-based ingredient combining seafood-like umami flavor with high concentrations of DHA. This approach reduces reliance on wild-caught fish as a source of omega-3 fatty acids while upcycling food industry byproducts into valuable nutritional ingredients. | $1.7M / Seed / Oct 25, 2023 |
