Wild Microbes

We’re happy to announce that Wild Microbes is heading to NYC for Climate Week! 🌱 This is an opportunity for us to connect with other innovators, exchange ideas, and explore solutions to one of the greatest challenges of our time—climate change. At Wild Microbes, we’re passionate about leveraging the power of nature’s smallest organisms to create sustainable, scalable climate solutions. We are re-examining one of the precision fermentation industry's most fundamental choices: the selection of a microbial production host. Many longstanding challenges that the sector faces today could be alleviated with better, intelligently selected, and finely tuned microorganisms. We can’t wait to share our vision and learn from others who are driving impactful change. If you’re attending Climate Week, let’s connect! 🙌 #ClimateWeekNYC #Sustainability #WildMicrobes #Bioeconomy #Biomanufacturing

We are back into the Lab today after working through the holiday week on a big purple fermentation! What better way to celebrate all of that purple than with a July 4th Mt. Rushmore of American symbology...? Be Wild, be Free, and continue to Evolve! Happy Summer from the folks at Wild Microbes. Thanks as always to Isabel Jones, unrivaled microbial artist.

We are #hiring for a Summer Co-op position. Apply to come work with us for the summer - in Cambridge, MA - finding, isolating, and characterizing microbes!

We are #hiring for an open role as "Founder’s Associate" or "Chief of Staff" (depending on experience) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Apply today or share this post with your network.

Happy Valentine's Day from the Wild Microbes team! We're happy for you if you've found it, but for everyone else we have the answer for you.

Parenting and entrepreneurship are both transformative and highly demanding journeys, and many Activate Fellows embark on them simultaneously. How do they balance both? How do the roles of science entrepreneur and parent intersect and even complement one another? Navigating entrepreneurship as parents, three Activate Fellows defy the 'grind' stereotype. Nili Persits (Dottir Labs, Cohort 2023), Eric Bellefroid (Brekland, Cohort 2023), and Timothy Wannier (Wild Microbes, Cohort 2022) give valuable advice for parents and non-parents alike: https://lnkd.in/dH-sSjdm

💥 Happy new year from Wild Microbes! Our team is back at it with tons of exciting work happening in all departments. From crazy new microbes to engineering breakthroughs, there’s a lot in store for 2024. 🚀 #innovation #microbes #startups #syntheticbiology #synbio #microbiology #biobased #newyears #nye #2024 #sustainability #alternativeproteins #fermentation #wild Benjamin (Kramer) Ember Timothy Wannier

What tech innovations are agrifoodtech startups most excited about as we head into 2024? To find out, I fired off a few emails to companies I've covered on AgFunderNews this year (apologies if you weren’t contacted, next year this will be more systematic 😉). Unsurprisingly, AI was top of mind for many founders, but it’s not the only thing on their list… Huge thanks to everyone that took part!

🎃 Happy Halloween from Wild Microbes! Our team is making incredible progress exploring the microbial universe, finding strains that make valuable compounds. Here’s some our spookiest ones! Reach out if you think outside the microbial box. 👻 #syntheticbiology #altproteins #greenchemicals #alternativeproteins #innovative #sustainability #fermentation #microbes #halloween #science #spooky Benjamin (Kramer) Ember Timothy Wannier

Find our cofounder Benjamin (Kramer) Ember in person in San Francisco this week! He'll be sharing how our platform of exceptional microbes can catalyze greener chemical production.
