Goldwin Play Earth Fund (hereafter “GW-PEF”), co-managed by Goldwin Venture Partners Inc. (hereafter “GVP”) and Ignition Point Venture Partners Inc. (hereafter “IGP-VP”), is pleased to announce that it has made an investment into Colorifix Limited (Headquarters: Norwich, United Kingdom ; CEO Orr Yarkoni; hereafter “Colorifix”), a Synthetic biology company for dye color production.
Colorifix is a biotech company founded in 2016 that develops dyeing technology for apparel using microbial fermentation. Colorifix is the first company in the world to establish a commercial scale dyeing technology for apparel entirely based on bioprocesses and has already achieved a wide range of color variations.
