Cosa fa Ovipost

Ovipost builds automated insect farms. Insects are the most efficient way to convert abundant, cheap byproducts into nutritionally dense protein. Today live insects are a $175m industry in the US, but the future of the industry is leveraging their excellent amino acid profiles and superior digestibility to replace fishmeal ($9.5B industry) and other expensive proteins in animal feeds. Led by co-founders Trina Chiasson (sold Infoactive to Tableau) and Teq Sassmannshaus (biotech hardware engineer), the Ovipost team has deep experience in hardware, software, and biology.

Automated insect farming

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building automated insect farms that convert cheap agricultural byproducts into high-protein insect biomass. Our system monitors and manages insect growth cycles to produce nutritionally dense live insects more efficiently than manual farms. This protein can replace costly fishmeal and other feed ingredients.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are currently based in LaBelle, Florida and would stay here after YC. This location is near key agricultural resources and logistics infrastructure.

Explain your decision regarding location.

LaBelle is where our hardware lab and insect research facilities are. Being close to cheap feedstock sources and agricultural markets reduces costs and lets us test in real environments.
