milemark•capital is thrilled to announce its investment in Foray Bioscience.

Foray uses AI to build plant products from single cells.

The world runs on plants, but today, 40% face extinction. Plant industries are under strain and slow to adapt, squeezed between growing global demands and evolving threats to production like weather, disease, and trade.

Foray creates lasting access to plants and plant products through biomanufacturing. With an AI platform that makes plant growth predictable and controllable, this team is delivering transformative advances across plant industries:

🪵 harvest-free plant products,
🌱 faster access to resilient crops,
🌲scalable native seed supplies,
☠️ and even de-extinction.

With a new ‘source code’ for plants, the world’s most expansive in vitro plant data assets, and domain-specific optimization tools and predictive models, Foray is re-designing the way the world grows. The company’s tightly integrated digital and physical operations highlight their platform’s capacity to deliver real outcomes. Foray has built in vitro plant workflows in over 25 species, showcasing the creation of materials, bioactives, and Fabricated Seeds, grown without the harvest. We’ve been inspired by the team’s technical excellence and incredible commercial momentum across software and production offerings.

We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Dr. Ashley Beckwith, Nico Hawley-Weld, and Alex Grant as they deliver the new operating system for plant production. by @milemarkcapital

In the heart of Cambridge, MA, we recently hosted our milemark•capital Founders & Advisors Connection event.

We are not only thrilled to back bright founders but also provide them with the right network and connections to help them thrive!

Investing is about more than just discovering state-of-the art technology, it’s about who is building and deploying it, and it’s about community. Connection is the ultimate multiplier, and we are committed to building a unique ecosystem where every founder has the support to scale.

To everyone who joined us: thank you for being a part of this journey!

Also, special shoutout to our advisory board member, Erin L Scott, who joined us at the event and shared her latest book: Entrepreneurship - Choice & Strategy. Thanks also to Paul Cheek - we are excited about your latest work (stay tuned for more) and Jim Dougherty for sharing your incredible insights with the founders.

Thanks Evgeny Sheenko for coming and the cool shots!! by @milemarkcapital
