Frankles, founded in 2020 by Francisca Schäfer and Matías Henríquez, focuses on transforming agro-food waste into valuable biocompounds. Its proprietary process combines green solvents with automated, machine-learning-driven extraction to generate ingredients that can be commercialized by both Frankles and partner companies. Management states the technology is already validated at pilot scale and is now being industrialized. The company positions itself within the AgriFood and biotechnology sectors, aiming to create new revenue streams from otherwise discarded agricultural inputs. Fresh capital will be allocated to scaling production and converting the platform into a revenue-generating business. The US$1 million raise represents Frankles’ first private funding and provides runway for commercialization initiatives.
