The FSE Group has invested £250,000 from the Thames Valley Berkshire Funding Escalator in Organicco Ltd, a fast‑growing climate‑tech company based in Slough. Organicco develops modular systems that convert industrial and organic waste into useful products such as biofertiliser, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), energy, hydrogen, food‑grade CO₂ and carbon credits.
Organicco was introduced to FSE at a Reading Tech Cluster pitch event, where the company’s founder showcased the business’s progress in helping organisations transition toward more sustainable waste‑management solutions. FSE is a sponsor of Reading Tech Cluster, which connects emerging founders and innovators through its events, making this investment a direct example of the collaborative activity the initiative aims to support.
Founded in 2018 by Jonathan Ure and Gopal Jeyasundra, Organicco has spent several years developing a suite of modular “waste‑to‑value” systems, including its ecoHERO, ecoDRYER, ecoMAN, and ecoENERGY technologies, which allow customers to transform waste on‑site, reducing disposal costs and generating new revenue streams.
With strong market drivers, including regulatory pressure, carbon‑reduction targets, and increasing demand for circular‑economy solutions, Organicco is well positioned to serve industrial waste generators, agritech businesses, municipalities, airports, hotels, and ESG‑focused corporates seeking scalable sustainability technologies. The funding will enable the business to deliver contracted and pipeline projects, expand its team, and progress manufacturing of its proprietary systems.
Gopal Jeyasundra, CEO & Founder of Organicco, said: “We’re delighted to have FSE’s support at a pivotal time for Organicco. After several years of intensive development, our technologies are now ready for full commercial deployment, and this investment allows us to move quickly on existing contracts and expand manufacturing. Meeting FSE through the Reading Tech Cluster was a key moment for us; they immediately understood the scale of the market opportunity and the positive environmental impact we aim to deliver. We’re excited to take the next steps in our mission to enable a zero‑waste future.”
Rob Hillary, Investment Manager at The FSE Group, said: “Organicco is an exciting business operating at the intersection of climate‑tech, engineering and the circular economy. We met the team at a Reading Tech Cluster event and were immediately impressed by their clarity of vision and market understanding. This funding will help accelerate the delivery of their first major contracts and support the company through its next phase of growth.”
Mark Adams, CEO of Reading Tech Cluster, said: “Organicco is exactly the kind of ambitious, impact‑driven company the Reading Tech Cluster was created to support. Our aim is to bring founders, investors and partners together in a way that drives real economic and environmental progress for the region. It’s fantastic to see FSE, one of our sponsors, back a business they discovered at one of our events. This is a great example of how the ecosystem is working and why collaboration and connections matter.”
The investment will support Organicco’s first contracted projects, including delivery of its ecoDRYER technology, while strengthening its ability to scale manufacturing, enhance its supply chain, and pursue wider market expansion.
