Lux Bio

Lux Bio is a biotechnology startup developing long-duration bioluminescent technology as a sustainable alternative to chemiluminescent products. The company's flagship innovation replaces single-use, non-biodegradable glow sticks with compostable bioluminescent alternatives, targeting a $10 billion chemiluminescent market. Applications span industrial safety, emergency signalling, food and beverage, cosmetics, and military use. Lux Bio is approved for the Military and Space testing stream with the Government of Canada. The company closed a $1.5 million pre-seed round in 2023 led by Brickyard with participation from AgFunder, Tawani Ventures, Women's Equity Lab, and Climate Capital.
