Hi ,
In this week’s Digest, we are proud to deliver an insightful report from industry analyst Mark Bünger on the record-breaking $4.2B in venture funding secured by SynBio start-ups in Q2, 2021. All indicators point to the fact that 2021 investment should exceed the sum total of the previous 11 years combined (since we began measuring in 2009).
You may also notice that we’re working to revise our Digest format. Our goals over the coming weeks are to enhance readability, provide for more visual interactivity, and generate insightful, original commentary.
We hope you enjoy reading… and as always, appreciate hearing from you!

Q2 2021 INVESTMENT REPORT |
The second quarter of 2021 was another record-breaking period for the synthetic biology startup community. Building on the extremely high amount of investment we saw in Q1 ($4.7 billion), Q2 also brought in more than $4.2 billion in venture funding to synthetic biology startups.
The amount of money raised by synthetic biology startups in the second quarter proved that the remarkable performance in Q1 wasn't a one-time fluke. On the contrary, the money was spread widely over nearly every dimension, from synbio stack to stage of investment, company size, application, and geography.
