Biographica Raises £7M To Accelerate Gene-Editing

Biographica, a London startup founded in 2022, has raised a £7 million ($9.5 million) seed round led by Faber VC to scale its ML-driven crop gene-editing target discovery platform. The company, which has pilots with top-five seed firms and partnerships including BASF Nunhems and Cibus, says its multimodal foundation models plus lab-in-the-loop validation find proven and novel gene targets up to 12x faster.
Scoring Rationale
Strong commercial validation and multimodal foundation-model approach drive score, but early-stage funding and limited public experimental detail constrain impact.
