About Wikipearl

Nature doesn’t need packaging. Neither do we. Inspired by grapes' delicious and protective skins, Wikipearls are luscious treats wrapped in their own flavorful coating. So go ahead and indulge, the planet will thank you for it.

STORY Wikipearl was first invented in a Harvard classroom where bio-creator and professor David Edwards sparked a discussion around the possibility of transporting water in ways inspired by our biological cell. Edwards then pursued his research in collaboration with designer François Azambourg and biologist Don Ingber. The result of their work are presented to the public for the first time during the 10th Experience at the Laboratoire in Paris in 2010: Cellular Design. Encouraged by the reaction of the public and key potential partners, and after two years of incubation, we created a startup and raised a Series A in June 2012 from top US venture capital funds, Polaris Partners and Flagship Ventures to push R&D and create a robust platform. In addition to launching our own Wikipearl Ice Cream product lines in France and in the US, we're actually partnering with food and beverage manufacturers to develop new product lines.
