Kybele’s Garden is a biotechnology startup developing high-value solutions for the agrifood sector, including probiotic and prebiotic formulations, functional fertiliser blends, and algal-derived extracts such as phycocyanin.
When joining the Accelerator, the company was navigating a period of transition — new investment, a facility relocation, and certification systems to build from scratch. The programme helped the team develop a roadmap for technology transfer to contract manufacturers, identify critical control points in their production workflow, and align R&D with business goals. Next steps focus on advancing funding applications and scaling in a disciplined, structured way.
L’EAUTELIER creates ocean-derived interiors, amenities and experiences for hotels, most notably through the Seaweed Suite™ — described as the world’s first algae-based licensable hotel room concept.
Founder Morgan RÆ joined the programme with a detailed business plan but no clear way to communicate what the company did or how it made money. Through mentorship, the concept was sharpened around a licensable suite with an e-commerce layer, allowing hotel guests to purchase the ocean-derived products they experience in the room. By the end of the programme, L’EAUTELIER had a three-year cash flow projection, updated pitch materials, and template contracts for hotel partners. The Seaweed Suite™ makes its public debut on 28 May in Wageningen, NL, at the 10th Anniversary Young Algaeneers Symposium.
Round 2 now underway
Building on the results of the first cohort, the Algae Accelerator has launched its second round with a newly selected group of SMEs. The six-month programme follows a structured three-sprint format, offering up to €10,000 in mentoring value per company.
