	Nutropy	Startup	2021	Food
Hi we’re Nutropy! Nutropy is a French biotechnology company engaged in precision fermentation and is developing milk proteins produced without animal inputs to enable sustainable, industrial-scale cheese and dairy production through a plug-and-play powdered ingredient platform.
	Hepta	Startup	2022
Hi we’re Hepta! Hepta is a biotechnology company developing an AI-native liquid biopsy platform that decodes epigenetic signals from cell-free DNA using a simple blood sample. Its technology provides tissue-level biological insights without the need for invasive biopsies. The company’s initial focus is on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a prevalent liver disease with limited scalable diagnostic options. By combining advanced AI models with cfDNA analysis, Hepta aims to enable earlier detection and routine monitoring of chronic diseases. The platform is designed to reduce diagnostic uncertainty and improve clinical decision-making. Over time, Hepta plans to expand this approach to other chronic and complex diseases.
