In May, Kula raised $10 million in seed funding from environmental funds including the Collaborative Fund and the Nature Conservancy. This project is in response to sales growth. Designed for versatility that will support various business functions as they grow, the space contains executive offices, open employee seating, a research lab, manufacturing spaces, an inventory area, grow room and amenities. Currently situated in Greentown Labs, Kula Bio is a 3-year-old startup that is pioneering sustainability with Kula-N, a super charged fertilizer for agriculture.

natural microbes contain stronger nutrient capabilities, Kula’s patented process creates bacterial microbes that transport nitrogen from air into fertilizer. It does this via a reactor technology which enables the microbes to store energy from renewable electricity and carbon dioxide. Applied via irrigation, energy then slowly releases nitrogen directly into the soil. Once depleted, the bacteria die and decompose naturally, increasing carbon into the land.
