OPTIFarm is the world’s only real-time, remote, 24/7 optimisation service for livestock farms. The company argues that current livestock production facilities lack a systematic way of monitoring production, animal welfare or staff training needs on a continuous basis. It stresses that its model combines the knowledge of trained experts with raw data gathered from livestock consisting of metrics like feed consumption, feed availability, water, temperature, humidity, and air pressure. The company combines the aforementioned data with advanced software and data analytics offering livestock businesses 24/7 monitoring providing full status reports every 90 minutes. OPTIFarm asserts that this enables farms to optimise feed, water and climate to provide the best conditions for their livestock. OPTIFarm’s service is currently generating c. £25,000 per month in recurring revenues from poultry clients in 14 countries across the globe. The company stated it will use the investment received to prepare the business for rapid scale-up growth over the next five years.

Zentraxa is focused on precision bioengineering to produce peptides with predictable properties tailored towards purpose. The company points out that peptides are amino acids that are the building blocks of certain proteins needed by the skin, like collagen and elastin. It has come out with a synthetic biology platform, Zentide, that designs, produces and tests novel peptides. Zentraxa argues that Zentide can circumvent previously existing bio-design limits imposed by conventional peptide synthesis and produce tailor-made biomaterials for healthcare, personal care and industrial uses. Zentraxa is initially targeting healthcare with its first biomaterial, a debondable adhesive, for use in wound care. The company asserts that the material has other uses such as cosmetics and industrial applications due to its ability to bond strongly while still being easily and painlessly removable. Zentraxa will use the investment to create a portfolio of other biomaterials for licensing to global businesses in the health and industrial sectors via its Zentide platform.
