About
Based in the US, CryoBio specializes in developing innovative solutions designed to protect crops from sub-zero temperatures and frost damage, significantly enhancing agricultural resilience. Founded in 2025, CryoBio is located in Ithaca, US and focuses on creating advanced crop protection technologies. The company has secured USD 1. 3 mn in funding through pre-seed investments from multiple investors, including Marble and Ag Ventures Alliance, as of February 2026.
CryoBio specializes in a unique biological solution designed to protect crops from sub-zero temperatures and frost damage. The company's flagship product is a spray formulation that prevents ice formation at the molecular level, allowing crops to withstand temperatures as low as -8 °C without sustaining damage. This spray is both biodegradable and food-safe, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional frost protection methods. Targeting the agricultural sector, CryoBio's customers primarily include farmers and vineyard managers who face significant economic losses due to frost, particularly in regions with high fruit production, such as New York State.
Their technology aims to mitigate losses that can amount to billions annually, enhancing the viability of crops and improving farmers' livelihoods. CryoBio's revenue model is structured around direct sales of its innovative crop protection spray to agricultural producers. The company engages in B2B transactions, providing its product directly to farmers and growers who seek effective solutions to combat frost damage. As customers utilize CryoBio's technology, they benefit from long-lasting protection that can last up to two weeks, which is especially critical during frost-prone periods.
The pricing structure reflects the product's unique formulation and effectiveness, positioned significantly lower than traditional frost protection technologies. By offering a cost-effective solution that requires no special equipment for application, CryoBio attracts a diverse client base globally, allowing for scalable adoption of its frost protection services across various agricultural markets. CryoBio aims to expand its product offerings, focusing on developing new formulations for different crops by late 2026. The company plans to penetrate additional markets in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the US, targeting farmers who are particularly vulnerable to frost damage.
The recent funding of USD 1. 3 mn will be utilized to support research and development initiatives for these new products, as well as to enhance marketing efforts for entering these new geographical areas.
