Read full description
The core of SmartZyme's operations is its proprietary "Provolution™" technology platform. This system facilitates the sophisticated design and engineering of proteins and enzymes, enabling the creation of biomolecules with specific, optimized characteristics for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. The company's business model appears to be centered on leveraging this platform to develop products and then license them to larger players in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.
SmartZyme has outlined two initial products for the diabetes market. The first is a custom-designed enzyme intended to enhance bio-electrochemical glucose catalysis in glucose test strips for the Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) market. The second product is the "Go Patch Go," described as a personalized patient care system designed for on-demand blood glucose measurement.
To finance its development pipeline, the company has successfully engaged with institutional investors. SmartZyme has raised a total of $4 million over two funding rounds. A significant funding event occurred in October 2015, led by the healthcare investment firm OrbiMed. Its latest Series B round was completed in March 2018, with participation from investors Orbimed and VI Ventures.
