SugaROx: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
SugaROx develops crop biostimulants to improve crop yield, quality and resilience to climate change. Its platform technology allows for the delivery and activation of natural plant molecules inside plant cells via a foliar spray, and the venture targets the biggest bottlenecks in plant physiology. It's first active ingredient mimics trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P), a sugar that deactivates the famine-signaling enzyme SnRK1. SugaROx was founded by the academics who invented its platform technology (plant biologists Dr Cara Griffiths and Dr Matthew Paul from Rothamsted Research and organic chemist Prof Ben Davis from Oxford University). It's technology is based on 25+ years of cutting-edge science.

About FundedIQ's SugaROx 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 SugaROx is left off this page rather than filled in.
