The company was developed out of Entomos, Inc., to commercialize its revolutionary technology for production of nematode control products Pasteuria Bioscience has successfully raised over $6 million in venture funding in its series A and series B rounds, which has enabled the advancement of the technology to the point of commercial-scale production and EPA registration of its first product.

Progress towards launch is supported by multiple ongoing turf field trials and other commercial development activities.
