"By providing startups with a way to effectively value the feasibility of their technology and de-risk the scalability, Synonym Bio's Scaler tool is a major disrupter in the life sciences/biotech space. The result is a high-value, TEA model that effectively communicates a startup's economic viability."

Director, Blue Horizon
"It’s already pretty awesome and this could really change the conversation around the biomanufacturing industry! It’s so useful to have a quick tool to put numbers around intuitions and understand what needs to change to get to target COGS."
Harness the power of an accessible, purpose-built techno-economic analysis.
Techno-economic analyses (TEAs) provide a systematic and rigorous evaluation of the economic viability of a technology. TEAs are key resources that help businesses inform decision making to maximize upside and minimize potential costs and risks. Despite their importance, robust TEAs remain out of reach for many companies because they require specialized expertise and are costly to build.
Scaler™ by Synonym is a free, next-gen techno-economic modeling tool designed specifically for the bioeconomy. It can simulate the economic performance of many fermentation processes in industrial scale settings and help you build a realistic commercialization roadmap.
