Company

Kresko RNAtech has developed an end-to-end platform to discover, select, stabilize and validate naturally occurring bioactive RNAs from food and plants. Our technology transforms these previously overlooked molecules into differentiated functional ingredients for dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages, beauty, healthy aging and animal health applications.

The platform combines AI-enabled bioinformatics, proprietary biological datasets and experimental validation to identify RNA candidates associated with specific biological functions. Selected candidates are characterized through in vitro assays, formulation studies and human pilot testing. Our proprietary stabilization and processing methods are designed to preserve these fragile molecules during extraction, concentration, drying, storage and incorporation into finished-product matrices.

To date, we have completed more than 50 biological proof-of-concept studies and over 20 functional assays across multiple ingredient programs. Our lead programs address sleep and stress support, skin renewal and skin-microbiome applications. We have also completed early human validation, published peer-reviewed research and filed a patent application covering key elements of the technology.

We are now advancing the platform into pilot-scale production and partner-led product validation. Our objective is manufacture reproducible pilot batches and collaborate with potential customers to evaluate our ingredients in real product applications.

We are seeking food, supplement, beauty, pet-health and ingredient companies interested in conducting joint pilots, formulation trials or co-development projects. Potential collaborations may include incorporating our RNA-enriched ingredients into commercial matrices, assessing stability and compatibility, defining target specifications, validating biological functionality and developing differentiated product concepts.

We are also open to partnerships with pilot manufacturing and processing organizations with capabilities in dairy or botanical processing, membrane filtration, concentration, drying and analytical development.

Through these collaborations, we aim to generate application-specific technical data, validate product-market fit, adapt the platform to partner needs and establish a pathway from pilot testing to commercial ingredient supply.


About Kresko RNA Tech

Kresko RNAtech is a biotechnology company that develops functional, natural ingredients derived from bioactive RNAs found in medicinal herbs, fungi, and superfoods. The company utilizes a proprietary bioinformatics platform called Serkanto AI, which employs machine learning and deep learning algorithms to rapidly identify, validate, and stabilize these RNA molecules. By preserving the functionality of these compounds, Kresko enables the development of products that remain effective through digestion, allowing for health benefits that include metabolic regulation, anti-inflammatory properties, and epigenetic health support.

The company provides these science-backed ingredients to partners in the supplements, beauty, and functional food sectors, helping them create novel products with a competitive market edge. By offering tailored R&D collaboration and end-to-end integration support, Kresko aims to transform how industries utilize natural resources to address consumer wellness needs. Their work is supported by institutional backing, including investment from IndieBio and SOSV, and they are recognized for pioneering the stabilization of these supernutrients to deliver tangible health outcomes at a cellular level.
