Quorum Earth

Quorum Earth is a biotechnology startup developing biopesticides derived from fungi to combat invasive insect species and protect pollinators. Founded in 2023 and part of IndieBio New York's Class 9 accelerator program, the company is focused on biological pest control agents that leverage 400 million years of fungal evolution to create natural, effective alternatives to chemical pesticides. Quorum Earth's initial focus is on saving bees from invasive insect threats, with its first commercial product expected in Q1 2027. The company addresses a growing global challenge: the economic cost of biological invasions has increased fourfold every decade since 1970.
