Pivot Bio began in 2011 after two lab partners applied cutting-edge engineering principles to biology and changing nitrogen fixation in corn and other cereal crops. Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer Kartsen Temme says their objective is to deliver the nitrogen a crop needs with its microbes. “Plant the seeds in the spring along with the microbes from our product and everything takes care of itself,” said Temme. “That’s a lot we have to take on our shoulders to design those products, but we are trying to make life easier for the grower in a more predictable and productive way.” Pivot Bio wants to develop partnerships with seed and trait companies.
