Hi ,

Capital markets are the backbone of the modern economy, providing the funds businesses need to invest, grow, and create jobs. Synthetic biology is particularly dependent on capital markets and venture capital investment due to the significant upfront resources required to launch a synbio startup.
But external market conditions can create risks for synbio startups, particularly in later stages. Meanwhile, younger startups must strongly differentiate themselves to obtain funding and secure their IP. Navigating the investment landscape is vital to starting a synthetic biology company.
All synbio entrepreneurs must understand the various market paths and nuances of raising capital to grow their businesses.

After record-setting investment peaks in FY 2020 and 2021 for synthetic biology, the field raised $10.3 billion in 2022. While this is still a considerable drop in investment from the previous years, this phenomenon was not isolated to synthetic biology and was felt across all startup sectors. In the first quarter of 2023, investors are not roaring back yet. However, there are still encouraging data showing steady growth in various sectors of synthetic biology.
