Aviwell Closes €11 Million Series A Investment Round to Scale AI‑Driven Microbiota Platform for Sustainable Animal Nutrition
TOULOUSE, FRANCE AND BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / January 23, 2026 / Aviwell SAS, a deep‑tech animal nutrition company headquartered in Toulouse, today announced the successful completion of a €11 million Series A investment round, welcoming three new investors: Blue Revolution Fund (BRF), Blast.Club, and SWEN Capital Partners. The financing will support Aviwell's next phase of growth as the company scales its AI‑driven microbiome discovery and development platform and advances native, nature‑based biological solutions for global agri‑food markets, initially focused on poultry and aquaculture.
Built on decades of research pioneered by Aviwell's co‑Founder, Prof. Remy BURCELIN, into how naturally occurring bacterial ecologies administered early in life can have a durable impact on animal growth, health, and resilience, Aviwell has developed Aneto™, an AI‑powered microbiome discovery platform.
Aneto™ identifies specific molecular mechanisms - modes of action - that enable the selection of native bacterial communities to create tailored bacterial ecologies designed to enhance animal performance, immunity, and robustness. This approach delivers a highly efficient discovery process, reducing research and development timelines and costs while accelerating time to market.
By combining advanced microbiota analysis with AI and machine‑learning‑driven discovery, Aviwell delivers measurable improvements in feed efficiency and immune function support while significantly lowering the cost and complexity of developing next‑generation animal nutrition solutions.
Aviwell will use the newly raised capital to advance its poultry and aquaculture microbial ecologies from discovery through validation and scale‑up. The company will also expand Aneto™ platform services, strengthen discovery and demonstration capabilities, and deepen commercial engagement with partners and customers.
"Aviwell sits at the intersection of two powerful market forces: rising global demand for animal protein, and the accelerating consumer shift toward natural, sustainable, antibiotic‑free production systems," explained Mouli RAMANI, the President and CEO of Aviwell. "With Aneto™, we can translate microbiome complexity into practical, scalable solutions-helping livestock and aquaculture producers improve productivity while reducing their environmental footprint. With the support of our new investors, Aviwell will accelerate development in poultry and aquaculture and expand our platform and product pipeline."
The financing round was led by Blue Revolution Fund (BRF), which invests globally in sustainable aquaculture, alternative seafood, and nutrition solutions. Georg BAUNACH, Managing Partner at BRF, stated: "We are deeply impressed by Aviwell's scientific depth and technological precision. Aneto™ represents a new generation of microbiome innovation-one that captures the inherent complexity of biological systems. We believe this approach can unlock the next wave of solutions for poultry, aquaculture and livestock in general by delivering meaningful improvements in performance, resilience and environmental footprint."
Blast Club also joins the round, reinforcing its commitment to innovative agri‑food technologies through equity crowdfunding. "We invested in Aviwell for one simple reason: they are revolutionizing the agri‑food industry. Aviwell uses AI and life sciences to naturally boost animal growth, without hormones or antibiotics, simply by working on the microbiota," shared Anthony BOURBON, founder of Blast.Club. "That's what we like: impact, innovation and a real long‑term vision. Feeding better, in a healthier, more sustainable way. Changing the rules of the game instead of playing by them."
The third new investor, SWEN Capital Partners, is a Paris‑based responsible investment firm active across private equity, infrastructure, private debt, and direct impact strategies. "Investing in the microbiome means investing in the future of health and a sustainable economy. For us, supporting Aviwell is about building a measurable, sustainable economic model - reducing chronic disease costs and creating responsible, long-term value," said Julien BOURRET, Investment Director at SWEN CP.
The three new investors join Aviwell's existing investors, including Elaia and MFS Investment Management, who also participated in the round.
With this Series A financing, Aviwell is positioned to accelerate the translation of cutting-edge microbiome science into scalable, nature-based solutions for animal nutrition. By advancing its AI-driven Aneto™ platform and expanding commercial collaborations, the company aims to support more resilient, efficient, and sustainable protein production systems worldwide.
