We are a group of people who deeply believe that the Petri Dish belongs in the 19th century.
The current system doesn’t work
people fall ill from a contamination
don’t survive and one-third are children
of output is lost in factories due to invisible microbes
of recalls are caused by microbiological contamination
We’re building real-time microbial detection so quality becomes the rule, not the gamble.

Our Journey
Track our timeline of idea to factory-ready prototypes in under two years with funding, validation, and industrial partners at key steps.
March 2023
First POC signed
Just weeks after launching, we convinced our first industrial partners to join the adventure. This early trust allowed us to immediately dive into real-world challenges and start shaping the product around actual factory needs.
September 2023
First €8M fundraising
Following a successful pre-seed round in May 2023, this €8M fundraising provided the resources to scale rapidly. Within months, we expanded to a team of 12 scientists and engineers.
October 2023
1st commercial contract
Our vision began to take shape as we transitioned from POC to paid industrial deployment.
December 2023
First validation study
After a year of intense R&D, our first full-scale validation study confirmed the performance of our AI model, paving the way for the first generation of prototypes.
May 2024
First prototype shipped
A major milestone. Our first devices left the lab and entered factories, developing our technology and team through hands-on industrial feedback.
August 2024
Series A
The success of our initial deployments convinced investors to back the next phase. We launched the second generation of prototypes, scaled rollouts, and expanded the team to 30 people by June 2025.
January 2026
Google AI Fund
We were selected as the only startup in the world by the Google.org AI for Science Fund, placing the company at the forefront of global efforts in Public Health.
March 2026
Technology Launch
Spore.Bio officially launches TMSI, the world’s first reagent-free, culture-free microbiology platform capable of detecting, quantifying and identifying micro-organisms.
This mission is bigger than us.
We’re backed by world-class partners and institutions to make it happen.
