Gaining Momentum

Corbiota is a legitimate and promising spin-off from BASF's Chemovator incubator (2022), focusing on sustainable animal nutrition to reduce antibiotic use in farming. External verification confirms significant industry backing, including acceptance into the 'Seedhouse' accelerator (Jan 2024) and nomination for the German Founder's Prize 2024. However, the user submission itself provided extremely low-quality, hallucinated data (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone'), which contradicts the B2B reality. Despite the poor submission quality, the underlying project demonstrates high real-world utility, technical innovation, and strong market timing.

Project Details

Description
Corbiota aims to create a more sustainable modern farming by providing young animals with natural and animal-friendly nutrition. Feeding young animals with Corbiota’s earthworms strengthens their eubiosis, the natural balance of microorganisms in their gut and immune system and triggers their natural instincts. They grow up stronger, healthier and more resistant towards diseases, reducing the need for antibiotics treatment - one of the biggest global challenges in today’s farming. Corbiota started in 2019 as a venture of BASF’s business incubator Chemovator GmbH. It has been founded as an independent Company in 2022 and is based in Düsseldorf. Germany.
