The Gates Foundation invests in Puna Bio - its first-ever investment in an Argentine startup 🇦🇷
We researched bacteria that have inhabited the planet for 3.5 billion years to create the world’s first seed treatment biostimulant made by extremophiles. It consistently improves yields by 10–15% in fertile soils and enables crop growth in degraded soils.

These are microorganisms that have evolved in extreme environments. Using extremophile bacteria from the Argentine Puna and advanced technology, we develop seed treatment microbial inoculants that enhance crop performance and regenerate soils.
