Impetus Agriculture

Overview

Impetus has developed a novel approach for quickly and cost-effectively designing and producing new biochemicals for the control of crop-damaging insects
New product leads have two modes of activity: dramatically enhance activity of current products against specific insects and generate activity against other insects that are not currently controlled

Highlights

Demonstrated laboratory proof-of-concept in multiple insect pests
Secured seed company collaboration and multi-national strategic partner for lead spray-on product
Closed initial Series Seed with venture capital and strategic investors
R&D advisory team that represents the "Who's Who" that created the $6B first generation biotech insect-control trait

St. Louis has a tremendous opportunity to build innovative startup companies by leveraging its deep strengths in agriculture and food technologies. In my role at BioGenerator, I am helping to create new St. Louis companies that address global issues in food production and food quality.
