Petri is a new approach for funding formation-stage startups at the intersection of biology and engineering. Petri is co-founded by entrepreneurs who have built iconic companies as well as academics who are driving foundational science in bioengineering; together we have deep experience developing ideas into successful companies across human health and sustainability. We invest pre-seed and seed capital and work one-on-one with founders for 12+ months. We help founders build world-class teams, develop intellectual property, find customers, and raise a subsequent round of financing.
