Toulouse, France-headquartered deep‑tech animal nutrition company Aviwell SAS has completed an €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 aquaculture and poultry.
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. According to Aviwell, 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 is looking to deliver 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,” Aviwell CEO Mouli Ramani said. “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.”
Georg Naunach, Managing Partner at BRF, which invests in sustainable aquaculture, alternative seafood, and nutrition solutions, 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 Founder Anthony Bourbon said: “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.”
He continued: “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.”
Paris-based Swen Capital Partners maintained that 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,” Swen CP Investment Director Julien Bourret said.
The three new investors join Aviwell’s existing backers, including Elaia and MFS Investment Management, who also participated in the round.
