## About

Based in Edinburgh, UK, and founded in 2021 by co-founders Toby Parker and David Satori, Rhizocore Technologies Ltd. produces locally adapted mycorrhizal fungi to enhance tree planting success. In November 2025, Rhizocore Technologies Ltd. raised GBP 4.5 million in venture funding led by new investor The First Thirty, with participation from other new investors Sand River, Grosvenor Estate, Kibo Invest, individual investor and other unspecified investors. Returning investors ReGen Ventures, Old College Capital and Scottish Enterprise also participated in the round.
 
The company provides mycorrhizal fungal pellets, a sustainable option for accelerating woodland regeneration, improving forest productivity, and increasing natural capital benefits. Rhizocore creates technology to cultivate a symbiotic fungus that improves the growth, resilience, and carbon sequestration capacity of newly planted forests and woods. The business's fungal pellet serves as an essential subsurface nutrient exchange for fungi and trees.
