General information

Short Summary
Innovative start-up and benefit company manufactures new innovative raw material based on plant exosomes from fruits and vegetables derived from Italian organic agriculture to revolutionize the skincare and nutritional supplements markets. The company is looking to internationalize sales and thus is looking for distributors or an importer who has distribution with pharmacies or online.
Full Description
The Italian startup established in 2020 in Pescara (Abruzzo, Italy) creates and manufactures a new innovative raw material based on plant exosomes from fruits and vegetables derived from Italian organic agriculture and aims to revolutionize the skincare and nutritional supplements markets.
Plant Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles naturally delivering molecules essential for life including: i) proteins, ii) bioactive molecules, iii) lipids and iv) nucleic acids. Plant Exosomes have the potential to allow a target-specific delivery of all these molecules into the recipient/target cells, thus contributing to human health through prevention and care of diseases.

The start-up's business model is B2B and produces skincare products and nutritional supplements in full-service.
All the company’s products come on the market with a huge scientific dossier on support.
The problem they are solving is that there is a poor quality of products given by the uncertain chain and quality of raw materials in the market available.
Their patented (3x IPs) products are able to deliver phytonutrients like antioxidants with great bio-availability.
Their third Patent is about a new anticancer drug to cure Glioblastoma.
The company has built its own Laboratory in L’Aquila, 1 hour by car from Rome, that is the first in Europe Lab for research, innovation and production of Plant Exosomes extract from Italian Organic Agriculture.
The stat up is now ready to scale up and start selling its products on international markets. They are therefore looking to get into agreements with distributors or an importer who has distribution with pharmacies or online.
Advantages and Innovations
The company’s innovation concerns natural platform technology they use: Plant Exosomes. They are nanosized shuttles of essential life molecules. Plant Exosomes will be the future for Drug-Delivery because they have several performances: they are resistant to gastric pH and they can overpass the Blood Brain Barrier.
