As we reflect on 2023, our founder Derek Greenfield shared learnings on scale-up in industrial biotech.
Founder & President at iMicrobes: We build microbes to ferment waste into chemicals
The Alternative Fuels & Chemicals Coalition conference pushed biotech companies to share their challenges and learnings. That is why I was delighted to join a panel organized by Jim Barber. The other speakers John R. Shaw, Eric Steen, Darcy Prather, and Kristian Gubsch shared their learnings on scaling sustainable industrial biotech processes; here are some of my favorite takeaways: -The focus needs to be on solutions for customers, not on ingredients. -As you scale up a process, keep asking: how is it going to fail? And design your process to address potential failure modes. -Don’t just compete with existing petro ingredients, find where your ingredient has unique properties that solve customer problems. -Get to a scale where customers can test your product as quickly as possible -Don’t give samples away for free. Asking customers to pay will generate useful discussions. And if you're a strain engineer or analytical scientist, iMicrobes is hiring!
