SOLASTA Bio<\/a>, a biotechnology research startup based in Glasgow, UK, has recently raised an impressive $4.96 million in pre-Series A funding from investors, including Rubio Impact<\/a>, Cavallo Ventures<\/a>, Scottish Enterprise<\/a>, SIS Ventures<\/a>, and The Yield Lab<\/a>. Led by founder Shireen Davies<\/a>, SOLASTA Bio is taking on the massive challenge of protecting crop yields and delivering food security while preserving the environment. Their product portfolio includes biological pesticides and neuropeptide-based insect control products, which have the potential to control a wide range of pests, including those with resistance to synthetic chemistries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What sets SOLASTA Bio apart is its use of neuron-made small proteins called neuropeptides instead of synthetic chemicals traditionally used in insecticides. These “nature-inspired” products can specifically target pest insects while leaving pollinators such as bees unharmed. With 94% of the insecticides market currently dominated by synthetic chemicals, SOLASTA Bio’s innovative approach is poised to disrupt the industry. With plans to bring its first patent-protected product to market in 2027, SOLASTA Bio is an exciting startup to watch as they work towards a more sustainable, eco-friendly future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
