We’re looking for partners to scale our capabilities and support the high level of inbound demand across key material production and process development initiatives. Is that your team or a team you know? Then read on.

When we launched ProteinDiscovery.ai earlier this year, we had a hunch there would be demand for our platform but had no idea to expect the level of inbound we’ve already received. Just three months after launching, we’re proud to share that we’re managing more requests to scale ingredients we’re discovering than we can handle internally.

Fortunately, we know that there are numerous companies operating strain development, fermentation, and DSP at various scales as a service. We’re building a network of scaling partners to enable Shiru to focus on what we do best—AI-enabled protein discovery—while delivering high quality materials to our partners via end-to-end support by our expert team.

Accelerating the transition to biobased materials won’t be done by one company alone, but by syndicates of best-in-class teams. Shiru’s protein discoveries will get to market faster with excellent partners working alongside us, and we’re requesting submissions from partners across the globe.

By partnering, we provide an unparalleled value proposition to our customers as a one-stop-shop for protein discovery and creation at scales relevant for cosmetics, food, and advanced materials. Going from “I need a new protein ingredient” to relevant samples delivered to your lab has never been this easy, and we’re delighted to be building this new paradigm.

If your team is a great fit, get in touch. And if you know a team who’d be a great fit, please share this opportunity with them. Let’s make accessing new, sustainable protein ingredients as easy as 1, 2, 3.
