Funding Report: SenseUP Biotechnology

Agriculture is at a turning point – and SenseUP delivers the technology we need to move forward.
We’re excited to announce the successful seed funding round of Cologne-based biotech startup SenseUP. A total of €2.4 million was raised, led by Capnamic, with participation from HBG Ventures, CHECK24 Impact, and Rockstart.
SenseUP is developing encapsulated, dsRNA-based biopesticides that target insects, fungi, and viruses – completely residue-free, non-toxic, and fully biological. This groundbreaking platform not only excels scientifically but is also scalable for industrial use.
The products are based on a patented fermentation technology using *Corynebacterium glutamicum*, a microorganism trusted in the food industry for decades.
The vision: high-tech agriculture that protects nature.
With this new funding, SenseUP aims to expand its product pipeline, strengthen strategic partnerships, and grow its team.
We’re proud to be part of this journey – for a resilient, sustainable, and secure global food system.
