About
Helaina is a New York City-based biotechnology and food technology startup using precision fermentation to produce human milk proteins — specifically lactoferrin — that are biologically identical to those found in human breast milk but produced without human milk donors or animals. Founded by Laura Katz in 2019 and backed by Y Combinator (S22 cohort), Helaina raised $20 million in seed and Series A funding from DCVC, Digitalis Ventures, and other deep-tech investors. The company sits at the intersection of synthetic biology, precision fermentation, and the rapidly growing alternative protein market.
