Biophero

BioPhero is a Danish agricultural biotechnology company that engineers microbes to produce synthetic insect pheromones via microbial fermentation, providing low-cost, bio-based pest control that disrupts insect mating cycles on major row crops without toxic insecticides. Founded as a spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), BioPhero raised a DCVC Bio-led Series A (with FMC Ventures, Syngenta Group Ventures, and Novo Holdings) and was subsequently acquired by FMC Corporation. The company is a DCVC portfolio holding surfaced in the API Evangelist network; it operates as a research and product organization in synthetic biology and crop protection and publishes no public developer API, documentation, SDKs, or agent-facing surface.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
