Growing nature-inspired companies
We support nature-inspired solutions to come to the market and scale.
We are your partner
We’re a venture studio for nature-inspired innovation. That means:
→ We don’t consult, we co-build
→ We don’t pitch decks, we roll up sleeves
→ We work side-by-side to turn R&D into revenue, and visions into ventures
Whether you’re spinning out of a lab or scaling a breakthrough, we’re here to get you to market faster, with the structure, team, strategy and capital.

How we work
We scout breakthrough research or bioinspired tech with clear commercial potential.
We partner with founders to develop their venture from the ground up, helping them assemble the right team, design the product, and validate the market, business model, and go-to-market strategy.
We accelerate the development of the ventures with the right capital and partners.
Who we work with
We work with researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to build the next generation of climate-positive ventures, by design, not by chance.
Startups
We join as late founders. We bring capital, hands-on execution, and a proven methodology to build the company with you.
Researchers
We co-found ventures with people shaping tomorrow’s technologies. You bring the insight; we build the venture around it through brand, funding and the right team.
Corporates
We help you turn nature-inspired strategies into market-ready offers. From problem framing to pilot launch, we work with your teams to deliver real impact.
Discover our ventures
As a bioinspired innovation generator, Asteria connects creators with Earth’s unique biodiversity to design tomorrow’s sustainable solutions.
Using nature-inspired strategies to create lower cost and more sustainable solutions for urgent water challenges such as PFAS and heavy metal contamination.
Each ton of rare earths creates 2,000 tons of toxic waste, and demand will rise 7x by 2040. REEcover extracts rare earths elements from waste with 10x better separation, offering a sovereign, cleaner, circular alternative to mining.
Water contamination from PFAS, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals is a growing crisis. Xatoms uses AI and quantum chemistry to create photocatalysts for chemical-free water purification with sunlight or LEDs.
High costs keep nanomanufacturing out of reach, limiting advanced biomimetic materials deployment. Nanoscale Labs’ spray platform cuts nanomanufacturing costs 1000x, enabling scalable biomimetic surfaces like power-free adhesives and antibacterial coatings.
Out of the Lab
50,000€ to get your bioinspired research out of the lab and into the world!
The Out of the Lab Award exists to help researchers and early-stage teams transform bioinspired research into successful ventures. We’re looking for breakthrough ideas that have a positive impact on our planet. If you’re a researcher, a project owner or a pre-seed startup working on something nature-inspired with real-world potential and want to take it beyond the lab, this is for you !
2026 applications open : March 10th, 2026
