New funds and a game launch for Karmagenes

Undisclosed angel investors from 4 different countries including Switzerland have invested in total CHF 260'000 in seed money in Karmagenes, with possibility to invest CHF 290'000 more. These are great news for the company led by Kyriakos Kokkoris, as it will be soon starting its next fundraising campaign.

In the next 2 to 4 weeks, Karmagenes will also be releasing the beta version of a new game that will be an online gamification strategy where an individual can build his real personality profile through interactive processes based purely on psychology and scientific evidence. “Biology meets Technology, Nurture meets Nature, Psychology meets DNA and Perception meets Reality.”

With their genetic test, the startup based in Valais provides an innovative approach of how people can better know themselves and connect with others in an avant-gardist way. Karmagenes goal is to make the general public understand that DNA, genetic tests and science in general, can also be used in a modern, comprehensible, positive and scientific way.

For Karmagenes genetic testing results should by no means be seen as a final and definite description of your behavioral characteristics. It should be stressed that the results are based on what your DNA is telling regarding these specific behavioral characteristics based on current scientific studies. However, characteristics are also influenced by the environmental factors in your life. 

The core team of Karmagenes includes 5 biologists with a PhD ranging from neuroscience to genetics and molecular biology from accredited Universities such as Karolinska Institute in Sweden, Imperial College in United Kingdom and University of Lausanne in Switzerland.
