Expedited Success: Pyrone Systems’ Partnership with AgXelerators

 

For startup companies, a key goal is always determining how fast a product can be brought to the market. This is why Pyrone Systems, Inc., a biotech startup merging biology and chemistry, partnered with AgXelerators. With a pressing timeline, having the right insight into the industry and guidance in regulatory compliance is instrumental in accelerating the rapid progress of a project.

For startups, speed to market is everything. That’s why Pyrone Systems, Inc., a groundbreaking biotech startup fusing biology and chemistry, teamed up with AgXelerators. In the race against time, expert industry insight and precise regulatory guidance aren’t just helpful—they’re essential to driving a project forward with unprecedented speed.

 

How Did AgX Leverage Their Expertise to Provide Pyrone Systems Support?

As a startup, Pyrone Systems needed a formulation research and consulting group with vast experience across multiple market segments. The goal was to expedite their development process while meeting stringent regulatory requirements. “We are a startup company in the biotech space, a combination of biology and chemistry. We have a fast-track registration process that is underway and one of the most crucial items for us was speed to market,” says Steve Bessette, Chief Business Officer. This need led them to AgXelerators, a company recommended through Biogenerator Ventures for their extensive experience in agricultural formulation development.

Through the vast experience of its team members, AgXelerators was able to provide invaluable expertise, particularly in navigating complex regulatory environments involving the EPA, FDA, USDA, organic bodies, and international regulatory bodies. Alex Hutagalung explains, “Once we had learned about their experience, we wanted to make sure that we were tapping into this to help us as quickly as possible formulate the end products we wanted to make for our particular purposes.” This comprehensive support ensured Pyrone Systems could maximize the utility of their formulations across various market segments.

 

Was There Any Concerns Starting the Project?

Meeting tight deadlines was a critical aspect of the project. AgXelerators’ strategic approach to formulation development minimized the need for multiple iterations, saving time and resources. Bessette highlights, “There were a couple of crucial elements that we had discussions about in the beginning and actually executed pretty well on. Number one was a timeline. The AgXelerators folks were fantastic. The team is great. They have such a varied background. They brought all of the crucial elements we needed to the table and we needed to provide feedback and get the formulations developed in early January, which meant that we were working across the Christmas and New Year holiday. They were willing to do so and perform great for us in that regard.”

 

How Was AgXelerators’ Ability to Create Innovative, Multipurpose Formulations Beneficial?

AgXelerators’ ability to create multipurpose formulations significantly enhanced Pyrone Systems’ market potential, allowing them to cater to diverse applications with the same product. “One of the great things that AgXelerators was able to do for us was to make two of our formulations multipurpose so that they could be used as, for example, a ULV spray, ultra-low volume, and or an emulsifiable concentrate, EC. And then we had ready-to-use sprays that could be used as a trigger spray, but also could be put into an aerosol and they were all accomplished within the exact same formulation itself, which was very helpful for us because it opens up more of the market applications,” Bessette elaborates.

 

What Was the Testing Process Like?

Efficient testing and validation were crucial for meeting the aggressive timeline for their EPA submission. AgXelerators ensured this by supervising external labs and conducting internal tests. Alex Hutagalung shares, “From my perspective, it was really easy to work with the AgXelerators team to really put together the work plan and walk through that work plan as intelligently and as efficiently as possible, because we were coming in with what we felt was a very aggressive timeline for getting the products completed, tested and ready, and the results ready for our submission to the EPA, and we are very happy to say that we were very close.”

 

A Strong Recommendation

Marked by excellent communication, innovative solutions, and efficient project management, the partnership with AgXelerators was fruitful. Their diverse experience and dedication were pivotal in ensuring the success of Pyrone Systems’ formulation and regulatory goals. Bessette expressed, “I would highly recommend AgXelerators, not just as a formulation team, but as a consultant to really identify and address issues up front to make sure you maximize the use of your dollars going into the formulations.” Hutagalung adds, “It was actually a pleasure to work with the team to address our questions, our concerns, and what we wanted to do in terms of what we were going to produce for Pyrone Systems. And so having that level of interaction on that level of quality in terms of the results that we generated is almost invaluable.” Steve Bessette concludes, “In the high-speed world of biotech startups, having experienced partners like AgXelerators makes a significant difference. Their support has propelled us forward, and we are on track to meet our regulatory goals at unprecedented speeds.”
