Cambridge, UK: We are thrilled to announce the first winner of the tech kickstarter 2.0 competition – Matrix Bio! based in Cambridge, Matrix Bio is an early stage tech bio startup developing disruptive digital platforms to transform how researchers design and optimize hydrogels. Their core technology integrates robotic hydrogel synthesis, high-throughput characterization, and machine learning algorithms into an automated biomaterials discovery engine.
Matrix Bio uses data analysis and deep learning to identify the optimal hydrogel compositions for specific cell-based applications and predict how they will behave in experimental conditions. This in turn streamlines the development and discovery process.
We are delighted to support companies like Matrix Bio, who are committed to making a positive impact on human health. The tech kickstarter programme will provide dedicated developer bandwidth to accelerate developing seamless web interfaces and robust data dashboards building upon and advancing their existing prototype systems. With the amplified resources, Matrix Bio can expedite creation of an intuitive online platform allowing users to easily specify hydrogel design criteria, run virtual experiments, and visualize results. Therefore fast-tracking their progress and helping them reach their next milestone.
At o2h technology, we understand the importance of innovative seed-stage companies in the health tech sector and our goal is to provide them the support they need to succeed in their digital transformation journey. We believe in working collaboratively with these very early-stage companies to help them overcome the barriers they may face when it comes to designing, building, and scaling their products which is why we launched the tech kickstarter competition.
“We love working with seed stage companies focused on human and planet health. We are a mission driven organisation and understand the importance technology plays in helping these seed stage companies get their innovations off the ground.”
Prashant Shah, CEO of o2h technology
“Receiving Kickstarter support is perfect for an early stage tech bio business, providing critical technology development and tech support to a small team, and providing credibility to future customers, partners, and investors.”
Christopher Mosedale, CEO of Matrix Bio

About the tech kickstarter competition
The first wave of the tech kickstarter competition was a great success. We received applications from more than 25 seed/early stage companies working on some really exciting and innovative ideas in the field of life science, tech/AI, and green innovation.
The tech kickstarter competition is designed to provide a boost of tech software/web development to seed stage companies, who have secured some initial funding and are looking forward to building MVPs, Web or Mobile apps to kickstart their digital journeys or supercharge their existing MVPs by expanding their functionality with additional resources.
At o2h technology, we love working with innovative early stage companies and helping them build tech products that can have an impact on human and planet health. Winners of this competition will receive a dedicated team of developers and end to end project management services to support their digital transformation journeys through all phases of application development including design, code, quality check, and implementation.
