“This investment underscores the value being created as Agrisoma expands its commercialization of Resonance carinata,” says Agrisoma president and CEO Steven Fabijanski, who led the group making the investment. “The opportunity for new sustainable, high-performance agricultural seed products such as Resonance carinata is substantial, and we want to become more invested in its success.”_x000D_

Resonance carinata is the world’s only RSB-certified (Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials) sustainable oilseed crop, providing a source of sustainable oil for renewable fuels and other products, in addition to a high- protein animal feed by-product. In September 2014, Agrisoma closed an $8 million Series A financing round, which was led by Cycle Capital Management, a clean tech venture capital platform of investments, with participation by BDC Venture Capital, one of Agrisoma’s current equity investors._x000D_
