Gross-Wen Technologies, founded in 2016 and based in the United States, is making waves in the Biotechnology, Information Technology, Waste Solution, and Water industries. Known for its innovative slogan, "We don’t just think green, we grow it!", the startup leverages its pioneering revolving algal biofilm system (RAB) to transform wastewater treatment.
The RAB system effectively recovers crucial nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater at a lower cost compared to traditional methods. An additional benefit is the production of algae biomass, which can be marketed as a slow-release fertilizer or a sustainable option for bioplastics.
In a competitive market, Gross-Wen Technologies secured a $6.50 million Series A investment on August 20, 2021. The round was supported by prominent investors including Mid-America Angels, Iowa Farm Bureau’s Rural Vitality Fund, and others. This influx positions the company for continued growth and innovation in sustainable solutions.
