We are thrilled to share that we have developed the world's first seedless blackberry! “A key challenge in our food system is helping people eat more high-quality, healthy foods. As part of our drive to increase the consumption of fruit and vegetables, we’re working to provide consumers with new, highly nutritious food options with improved flavor and convenience,” said Tom Adams, Pairwise Co-Founder and CEO. “With a deep understanding of the plant genome, an accurate, efficient, and scalable process, and streamlined pathway to commercialization, we are not only creating new products with our proprietary CRISPR technology, we are creating a new era of innovation in agriculture.” In addition to achieving the first seedless trait in any caneberry, we’ve created thornless and compact traits in the same variety to deliver benefits for consumers, growers, and the environment all in one.

We were so thankful to have been able to welcome U.S. Representative Deborah Ross during her visit to Pairwise. While she was with us, she learned about all the amazing things we are doing with CRISPR technology and plants, in order to address the challenges facing farmers, consumers and the environment. An additional thank you to North Carolina Life Sciences Organization President Laura Gunter for assisting in coordinating, and to both Laura and Representative Ross for being such strong supporters of start-ups such as Pairwise here in RTP! #CRISPR #Pairwise #innovation #agriculture

Meet one of our amazing interns, Sina Jamalzadegan! Sina just completed a successful 11-week internship in Data Science with Pairwise . During this time, Sina advanced the utilization of machine learning algorithms to improve the efficiency predictions for gene editing tools, which will help enhance the efficiency of Pairwise’s highly productive editing pipeline. We are grateful for Sina's contribution and wish him the best in his future endeavors!

We are extremely proud to share two significant updates today that are not only big steps forward for our company, but also for realizing the global promise of gene editing technology in agriculture: 1) We have formed a five-year joint venture with Corteva Agriscience to accelerate the delivery of advanced gene editing products and technology, and develop crops that are more resilient to extreme weather events and climate change. 2) In parallel to this new collaboration, we have closed a $40M Series C funding round. Investors including Deerfield Management, Aliment Capital, and Leaps by Bayer, are joined by new investor Corteva through its Corteva Catalyst platform. Investments from this funding round will be used to scale our innovative product pipeline, including seedless berries and pitless cherries, as well as advance our industry-leading Fulcrum™ Platform. “Gene editing is poised to revolutionize agriculture, enabling the cultivation of crops that are more adaptive to climate change, are more nutritious and convenient for consumers, and deliver greater economics for growers. Through our Fulcrum™ Platform, we’re proud to be at the helm of applying this transformative technology in agriculture and, alongside partners like Corteva, accelerate the realization of these benefits across global stakeholders.” - Tom Adams, Pairwise Co-Founder and CEO Read the two announcements in our newsroom here: https://hubs.li/Q02Q1L3R0 #keepgrowing #innovateboldly #pairwise #corteva #cortevacatalyst #geneediting #precisonbreeding #fundraise #startup #investment #agtech #agrifoodtech #agritech #agriculture #farming #agribusiness #innovation #technology #tech #foodtech #foodsecurity #sustainability #climatechange
