## About

Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and founded in 2020, Puna.Bio is an agricultural company that develops and manufactures biological products to improve farmers’ yields. Franco Martínez Levis (CEO), Elisa Violeta Bertini, Carolina Belfiore, and María Eugenia Farías are the co-founders of the company. In July 2025, PunaBio S.A. raised an undisclosed amount of series A funding led by returning investor Corteva Agriscience, with participation from other returning investors At One Ventures, SP Ventures, Dalus Capital, GloCal Venture Capital, Builders VC, and GRID EXPONENTIAL. New investor Gates Foundation also participated in the round. The company develops and manufactures biological products that help farmers increase their produce while also being environmentally friendly. The products use extremophile microorganisms (microorganisms 3.5 billion years old, sourced from La Puna) to boost crop nutrition. These microorganisms promote plant growth even in the most extreme conditions, allowing farmers to grow crops in poor soil quality while increasing productivity and output. The company will use the July 2025 funding for the development, production, and distribution of biofertilizers and biostimulants.
