Canadian biomaterials company producing protein fibers, 3D BioFibR, has raised over CAD 3.52 million (~USD 2.7 million) in seed funding led by Invest Nova Scotia. Build Ventures, Concrete Ventures, and Globalive Capital also participated in the funding round.

The funding will be used to bring the company’s collagen fiber products to market and expand 3D BioFibR's facilities to include a climate-controlled biomanufacturing clean room.

Founded in 2020, 3D BioFibR produces high-value collagen fibers for tissue engineering and medical applications using its proprietary dry-spinning process, which produces fibers that closely resemble natural collagen fibers. The company has also focused beyond collagens, reporting to have spun various other biopolymers, including spider silk, fibrin, and chitosan.
