Protera: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Protera is advancing the science of protein engineering to address some of the most critical problems and opportunities in food, agriculture, the environment and human health. We streamline protein design and development with MADI, our proprietary deep learning algorithm, to predict high value protein products and enzymes with unprecedented speed. Our in-house lab generates small quantities of the new predicted structures to validate their desired performance. Upon lab validation, we collaborate with our clients on next steps to move from pilot to industrial scale production.

About FundedIQ's Protera Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Protera is left off this page rather than filled in.
