Accelerating trait innovation through partnership
We help Ag industry leaders unlock high-value traits - from seed companies and fruit and produce growers to food manufactures and translational research institutions
Seed Companies:
Accelerate crop breeding by precisely adding high-value traits into commercial germplasm, eliminating the need for lengthy backcrossing.
Fruit & Produce Growers:
Cultivate crops that are more resilient, more nutritious, and more efficient to grow.
Food Manufacturers:
Design and scale production of crop varieties that deliver the exact agronomic qualities your products require.
Translational Research Institutions:
Transform innovative scientific concepts into market-ready solutions.
Our mission is to enhance food nutritional qualities, ensure global food security and support sustainable agricultural practices enabling a healthier planet
What Partners Gain
A validated, end-to-end path from gene target to edited plants.
Global propriatory CRISPR platform with a freedom-to-operate across all crops.
Reliable transformation and regeneration hard-to-edit dicots.
A proven scientific team with experience across 20+ crops and deep academic ties to the Doudna Lab.
Lower product development risk and cost, compared to internal R&D or traditional licensing routes.
How we collaborate
We offer two partnership structures tailored to different risk and investment profiles:
Joint Venture (JV)
Designed for large-scale commercialization within specific crops or geographies, offering shared governance and long-term value creation.
Co-Development Project
A milestone-driven structure focusing on a specific trait and crop. This is the fastest route to Proof-of-Concept and field trials.
Why MaxEditas
Global FTO, eliminating common CRISPR licensing barriers.
Proven speed, with a significantly reduced cost-to-market.
Our in-house R&D capabilities including plant transformation, editing, and greenhouse testing.
A highly collaborative, partner-first operating model.
Impact in Action
Our team delivers functional, market-driven solutions demonstrating our ability to translate science into commercially added value outcomes.
Global reach
From our base in California, we partner with growers, breeders, and innovation ecosystems across North America, Latin America, MENA, and Europe—accelerating trait development at global scale.
