Bioseon

A biologic is grown rather than made. Living cells sit in a bioreactor for two or three weeks while pH, oxygen, temperature and the nutrient feed are nudged by hand, and a small drift in any of them can cost a batch worth millions or quietly shift the protein into something a regulator will not accept.

Thomas ran production at a contract manufacturer and had watched the same three deviations repeat across four sites. Clara built the soft sensors that infer titer from spectroscopy instead of waiting two days on an offline assay. They had already run the approach on a real production train before they raised anything, which is rarer in this field than it sounds.

Regulated manufacturing is a slow place to sell software and we underwrote it that way. What convinced us was narrower than the vision. Bioseon senses the culture continuously and closes the loop on feed, which is the one thing every plant manager we called said they could not do today.
