Biomanufacturing startup Loopworm raises $3.25 Mn in pre-Series A round Co-founded in 2019 by Ankit Alok Bagaria and Abhi Gawri, Loopworm is a biomanufacturing startup focused on sustainable protein production using farmed insects. Loopworm, a biomanufacturing company developing insect-derived proteins, has raised $3.25 million in a pre-Series A funding round. The round was co-led by WaterBridge Ventures, an existing investor, and ENRISSION INDIA CAPITAL, a Japanese venture capital firm. The Bengaluru-based company had previously raised $3.4 million in a seed funding round led by Omnivore and others. The proceeds will be allocated towards commercializing its recombinant protein production platform, targeting diagnostics, animal vaccines, and other applications with lower regulatory barriers, Loopworm said in a press release. Loopworm focuses on sustainable protein production using farmed insects. The company has commercialized insect-derived proteins and fats for aquaculture and pet nutrition and is now developing a novel reactor-free recombinant protein production platform using silkworms. Loopworm says it has developed a new approach to producing recombinant proteins—typically created by inserting genes into host organisms like yeast or bacteria to produce proteins of medical or industrial value. Its proprietary process bypasses this entirely by using silkworms as living factories to produce complex proteins, enabling faster, more cost-effective, and sustainable production. The company currently operates a state-of-the-art, 6,000-tonne-per-year insect processing facility in Bengaluru. It exports protein and oil from silkworms and other farmed insects to Europe, South America, and ASEAN countries for use in the aquaculture and pet food industries.
