CryoBio Advances Frost Protection Technology with New Funding

CryoBio has raised $1.3 million in an oversubscribed pre-seed funding round. The round included participation from Ag Ventures Alliance, NY Ventures, Launch NY, and FuzeHub, as well as impact-focused angel investors including Klessig Trust and Jade Cove Partners.

Founded in 2025 as a spin-out from Marble, CryoBio is developing a frost protection solution designed to address increasing crop losses caused by late-spring frosts. Frost events are reported to result in up to $30 billion in annual agricultural damage across North America and Europe.

Traditional frost mitigation methods—such as candles in vineyards or the use of helicopters to circulate warm air—remain labor-intensive and costly.
