Профиль

Insectta (Singapore) develops patented technology to extract multiple high-value biomaterials from black soldier fly (BSF) insects, turning cocoon shells and related streams into chitosan and water-soluble melanin with traceability and low heavy-metal risk. Core products are insect chitosan (antimicrobial, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory) and 100% water-soluble melanin for biomedical and organic electronics uses; the single-process method also recaptures byproducts to reduce waste and treatment costs. Founded in 2018; headquarters address is 77 Ayer Rajah Crescent, #02-21/26, Singapore 139954. It has raised 2 funding rounds totaling over $2.5M, including a 2022 funding round of $20M and a 2023 round raising $1.4M led by Trendlines Group (with Glocalink SG, Paragon Ventures I, SEEDS Capital). Capacity: pilot facility (opened Nov 2023) increases capacity 30x; previously cited capacity was 5 kg cocoon shells producing 300–500 g chitosan and ~50 g melanin; plans to scale to 600 kg shells by the next year. Partners/collaborators mentioned include JTC (pilot site) and A*STAR; major investor mentioned includes Trendlines (also Trendlines Agrifood Fund in early stage) plus Seeds Capital, Openspace Ventures, and others named above. Latest 2023-2024 developments: pilot plant grand opening Nov 2023 with plans to produce first batch in Q1 2024 and pursue certification and customer onboarding; no 2025-2026 update or evidence of closure/ongoing activity is provided in the supplied results.
