“Xenova [zee-NOH-və], noun: The spontaneous eruption of a bizarre new system that nobody asked for but everyone suddenly needs”
Engineering × Biology for a Sustainable Planet
Xenova Systems is a problem‑driven venture studio and R&D lab. We start with a planetary‑scale question—How do we protect an ecosystem? How do we decarbonize a process?—and then engineer the process and business model that make the answer profitable to deploy. Our mantra: a solution that can’t pay its own way will never succeed.
Mission
To engineer and launch planet‑positive technologies whose unit economics make them spread faster than the problems they solve. We fuse rapid hardware development with business‑model architecture, ensuring every prototype has a commercial path from day one.
Core Capabilities
| Capability | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Electronics & Embedded Systems | Custom PCBs, low-power firmware, CV, and edge-AI that keep devices smart, lean, and field-ready. |
| Software & Automation | Control algorithms, data pipelines, and dashboards that let hardware run itself—and show you exactly what it’s doing in real time. |
| Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing | In-house DLP and FDM printers, CO₂ laser cutting, CNC mills, metal-working tools, and a stash of custom systems and equipment that turn CAD into hardware in hours, not months. |
| In-House BSL-1 Wet Lab | Adaptive laboratory evolution, mutagenesis, and high-throughput screening so biology iterates as fast as the electronics. |
| Tech Transfer & Business Solutions | IP strategy, cost-down engineering, licensing frameworks, and commercialization roadmaps that move prototypes into profitable production. |
| Venture Studio Partnerships | Spin-offs, joint ventures, and revenue-share deals with universities, NGOs, and corporations to scale validated technology. |
Founder
M. Wassa—embedded engineer, entrepreneur, and champion of solutions that pay for their own adoption. He founded Xenova to prove that climate‑positive tech can outcompete status quo economics.
Guiding Values
- Problem First — begin with a real‑world bottleneck, not a curiosity.
- Economic Sustainability — design for positive unit economics so solutions self‑propagate.
- Environmental Stewardship — benchmark every design against planetary impact.
- Open Science — share protocols and code whenever safety and IP permit.
- Radical Collaboration — academia, industry, and citizen scientists welcome.
- Integrity & Biosafety — operate within NIH guidelines and transparent risk assessments.
Collaboration & Partnerships
We work through sponsored research, licensing, equity‑for‑tech ventures, and full spin‑offs. Universities hire us to transition prototypes into manufacturable products; corporations co‑develop IP and receive right‑of‑first‑commercialization; NGOs leverage our hardware platforms to scale field impact. We are open and interested in working with any value aligned citizens or organizations.
