InsectoCycle

What InsectoCycle does

InsectoCycle is an Austria-based, privately held company founded in 2018 that offers systems for black soldier fly (BSF) egg production and provides general consulting services for black soldier fly operations. The company is headquartered in Giessenberg, Austria, and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees under the leadership of co-founders Jesse Turkstra and Jason Kiem. Its offering targets the insect farming value chain, where black soldier fly larvae are used for bioconversion of organic waste, animal feed protein, and other agri-tech applications.

No specific products, system architectures, technical specifications, or service modules have been publicly disclosed. The company's online presence at insectocycle.com is limited to a bilingual 'Coming Soon / Segera Hadir!' placeholder page (English and Bahasa Indonesia) with a countdown timer, indicating the business has not yet formally launched a commercial website or product catalog. Pricing, distribution channels, and customer segments are likewise undisclosed.

InsectoCycle's business model is implied to combine equipment/system sales for BSF egg production with paid consulting engagements. Capital to date is modest: two funding rounds from the StartLife food and agri-tech accelerator totaling approximately $89,908 across April 2020 and December 2022. There is no public evidence of revenue, paying customers, partnerships, patents, certifications, or third-party validation in the available sources, leaving the company's commercial maturity largely opaque.

The company focuses on enabling BSF farming operations through equipment supply and advisory support, targeting waste bioconversion and insect protein production applications.

Product overview

InsectoCycle currently presents only a "Coming Soon" / "Segera Hadir!" placeholder landing page on its website at insectocycle.com.

Broad incumbents

• Protix: Dutch industrial-scale black soldier fly producer with vertically integrated rearing and downstream protein/lipid products. Directly comparable because it is the benchmark European BSF operator and a likely customer/competitor for upstream egg-production systems and BSF consulting.
• InnovaFeed: French BSF producer focused on aquafeed (notably with Cargill and AquaBounty). Comparable as a large-scale European BSF operator that consumes/needs reliable egg supply and BSF technical know-how, mirroring InsectoCycle's customer base.
• Ÿnsect: BROAD_INCUMBENT. French industrial insect producer (historically mealworm, with broader insect-protein ambitions) and one of the most capitalized insect agtech companies in Europe. Comparable as a large, well-funded insect-farming incumbent that defines the competitive backdrop for BSF-focused niche players like InsectoCycle.

Direct peers

• Nutrition Technologies: Singapore-headquartered BSF producer operating in Southeast Asia. Comparable in geography-overlap (Indonesian-language site suggests SEA interest) and as a scaled BSF operator with its own rearing IP, both a potential customer and competitor for egg-production systems.
• BioFlyTech: Spanish BSF meal producer serving aquafeed and petfood markets. Directly comparable as a European BSF operator of similar mid-scale size whose egg-supply and consulting needs overlap with InsectoCycle's offering.
• Entocycle: UK-based insect technology company building BSF rearing systems and bioconversion facilities. Closely comparable as a BSF-focused technology and systems provider with overlap in the egg-production system category InsectoCycle targets.

Regional players

• Entofood: Malaysian BSF producer operating in Southeast Asia. Comparable as a regional BSF operator with potential overlap with InsectoCycle's apparent Indonesia-facing site language, and as a customer for egg-production technology and consulting.
