RainstickTM is an Australian indigenous electrobiology company harnessing the power of lightning to transform the food, agriculture, materials, medical, and research industries. RainstickTM biotech startup combines traditional indigenous knowledge systems and modern electrokinetics for the future of food and an alternative to pesticides, fungicides, and genetic modification.
Like thunderstorms, electrical influences on growing systems are an untapped and overlooked resource, says the founder of RainstickTM, Darryl Lyons, a Maiawali man.
By controlling which electrical signals are given to plants and fungi, RainstickTM can encourage certain behaviours around growth, nutrient use, nutrient density, and speed of growth. Darryl Lyons hypothesizes that someday even inter-generational epigenetic expressions can accelerate the process of selective breeding.
RainstickTM sees opportunity for this innovative technology for food, bioplastics, biomaterials, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and other biological forms.
The Maiawali people have been harnessing the power of lightning for tens of thousands of years. In January 2020, the RainstickTM founders reviewed over 120 electroculture research papers spanning over 100 years and discovered significant barriers to scaling up production for food and synthetic biology producers. Within a few months, RainstickTM developed a novel wireless delivery and control system. The RainstickTM team commenced trials in home garages and cold rooms.
By the end of 2022, RainstickTM secured commercial space within the James Cook University in Far North Queensland, Australia, built a research lab, and achieved excellent results in mushroom production. For example, early results in shiitake mushroom production have shown 18% more and 24% faster growth, with 0% mould.
RainstickTM may also be used for environmental purposes, such as bioremediation to help remove toxins and pollutants from soil and water, making it an effective tool for environmental cleanup.
RainstickTM is seeking investor and interested collaborators, such as:
1) investors interested in deep tech and transformational impact technologies to complete the pre-seed round of investment (contact them by 21 April 2023 HERE),
2) early adopters, growers, synthetic biology labs and seed producers interested in collaboration, and
3) early adopters who would like to see if Rainstick’s technology can help them produce clean tailored products.
