Pivot Bio is dedicated to supporting farmers with products that optimize crop production through specific nitrogen delivery.
Pivot Bio is dedicated to supporting farmers with products that optimize crop production through specific nitrogen delivery. Perhaps no pursuit is more noble than that of a farmer. Producing the food, fuel and products we depend on is all in a day’s work for farm families worldwide. Pivot Bio is dedicated to supporting farmers with products that optimize crop production through specifically timed and placed nitrogen delivery. Together, we are working toward a future that is more efficient, profitable, predictable, safe and sustainable for farmers and the planet. A catalyst for positive change, Pivot Bio brings partners together in pursuit of a sustainable future for agriculture. Pivot Bio microbial nitrogen changes everything, complementing a farmer’s fertilizer management plans by delivering nitrogen directly to the plant’s roots at the right time. Pivot Bio’s microbial nitrogen puts nitrogen where the plant needs it so that it’s there when the plant needs it. Our gene-edited microbes convert nitrogen from the atmosphere into ammonia directly on the plant’s root system. As long as a plant has roots, it has access to Pivot Bio’s nitrogen source. Pivot Bio products help ensure crops
As reported in public records reported — not modeled.
Solid bars are reported offering amounts reported; hatched bars are the modeled post-money valuation est. — both on one shared scale so you can read raise-vs-worth at each round directly. Use the toggles to overlay data labels and the niche-peer / market average value lines.
The line shows cumulative reported funding over the period; + labels show new capital added between points when there is room. Toggle on-bar figures, plus the niche-peer and market averages, to read this company against its cohort. Benchmarks are modeled medians.
Stages are modeled from round size (public records carry no series label). No record for: Seed, Series D+ — the company may have raised it under a different exemption, merged it into an adjacent record, or skipped it. Sequence completeness: 71%.
Round size and date are reported; the stage label is inferred from round size (latest is Growth/Late — a round over $400M). Valuation is modeled from stage benchmarks scaled by the biotech/pharma sector profile. Directional, not a quoted figure.
Benchmarked against 227 companies in Biotech / Pharma. Each bar is a median (the middle company, not an average — outliers don't skew it). Two yardsticks: real money raised (reported on Form D) and modeled value (our estimate est.). These are whole-sector medians across all stages, except the per-stage row.
Raised more than 100% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 100% of peers (estimate).
Stage is inferred from round size est., not reported on the filing — a round's dollar size maps to a bucket: Pre-Seed <$1.0M · Seed $1.0M–$4.0M · Series A $4.0M–$15M · Series B $15M–$40M · Series C $40M–$100M · Series D+ $100M–$400M · Growth/Late >$400M.
