FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chantilly, VA: GreenTech Ventures, Inc., dba TrueAlgae®, is delighted to announce the addition of Pam Marrone as Strategic Advisor. Dr. Marrone is a serial entrepreneur and has a distinguished 30+ year career in the field of biological products and plant health.
TrueAlgae produces TrueSolum® through its innovative, scalable algae production system. The patented production technology brings a closed-loop, contaminant-free capability to produce large quantities of valuable, high-quality algae quickly. TrueSolum is the resulting product for agriculture. It is a metabolite-rich liquid supplied to farmers to rejuvenate their fragile soil organically, thus improving crop yields, increasing farmers’ profits, and protecting the environment.
“We are thrilled to have Pam Marrone as our Strategic Advisor,” said Nathaniel Jackson, CEO of TrueAlgae. “Pam is a legendary pioneer in the biologicals industry and will be helping us with strategic advice based on her many years in the field and taking companies from startup to IPO or purchase. Pam has repeatedly helped other companies that are working to promote soil health and the environment. TrueAlgae shares this core philosophy.”
“I am always on the lookout for startups with new technology that can offer growers something unique and value added,” stated Pam Marrone. “TrueAlgae’s biostimulant product, which can help crops take up certain nutrients, is particularly interesting given the current price of crop inputs and need for more efficient use of fertilizer.”
