Shiru in the news: 
the future of sustainable ingredients

The new GLP-1 Innovation Alliance, an industry consortium that invites “Fortune 500 CPG companies and emerging brands to collaborate as equals” will use Shiru’s platform to identify natural proteins and peptides that bind to GLP-1 receptors and other receptors associated with appetite regulation and metabolism.

Shiru has launched two ingredients under its artificial intelligence (AI) platform Flourish called uPro and OleoPro. Flourish is a platform the company uses to reduce the discovery timeline for ingredients perceived as natural.

The company, which uses AI to sort through plant-based food building blocks, announced that it had scaled its first AI-discovered products: OleoPro and uPro. These new approaches to identifying proteins — particularly oleogel structurants (structured fat systems) — are designed to support large-scale production.

AI protein discovery platform Shiru is producing its animal-free fat ingredient at commercial scale- CEO Jasmine Hume calls it a “turning point” for the food industry.

Shiru uses its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform, ProteinDiscovery.ai, for ingredient discovery while GreenLab produces proteins in corn.

California-based startup Shiru has developed a first-of-its-kind ingredient discovery platform and marketplace for proteins.

Shiru is on the hunt for co-development partners to develop natural sweeteners

The startup’s database can help food manufacturers incorporate more functional ingredients into their products, Jasmin Hume says.

California-based startup Shiru is launching a first-of-its-kind discovery platform and marketplace for proteins, enabling companies in multiple industries to harness its AI and machine learning capabilities.

Shiru, a startup deploying artificial intelligence to aid in protein discovery, has closed a $16 million series B round led by S2G Ventures.

This collaboration expands Shiru's manufacturing capabilities, complementing its AI-driven protein discovery with a high-yield, scalable manufacturing platform that extends beyond microbial and precision fermentation.

The partnership will leverage Shiru's proprietary ProteinDiscovery.ai platform, which has already distilled over 450 million natural proteins into 33 million uniquely valuable candidates for applications in food, beverage, and beyond.

Investment Propels Shiru's Mission to Transform Ingredient Innovation Across Food, Personal Care, Agriculture and Advanced Materials.

This recognition validates Shiru's innovative approach to transforming how sustainable ingredients are discovered and developed across multiple industries.

ProteinDiscovery.ai lets anyone search, discover, pilot, and buy molecules for food, agriculture, personal care, and advanced material applications.
