The Climate Biotech Fund
Who We Are
As scientists and entrepreneurs ourselves, we speak the same language as the founders we back.
We are in a "Cambrian Explosion" of deep tech company formation. Juniper invests in breakthrough technologies that redefine trillion-dollar markets while solving humanity’s most difficult sustainability challenges. Previously, we were known as Climate Capital Bio.
Most early stage investors are not specialists in frontier science. We are.
60% of all physical inputs to the global economy can, and will, be produced by engineered biology, allowing us to finally kick our petrochemical dependency.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Wild Microbes
Wild Microbes believes that the future potential of biomanufacturing is to build a sustainable economy that is supplied with green, renewable inputs. They are using synthetic biology to turn microbes into production factories—from chemicals and cosmetics to food ingredients and fragrances.VISIT SITE ︎︎︎

California Cultured
California Cultured radically reduces greenhouse gas emissions and addresses deforestation and human rights issues that plague the cocoa and coffee industries by being the first and only company that makes real chocolate using cell-based agriculture, and one of the first companies to produce cell-based coffee.
