Challenges: Aegis has worked with Amyris over the last few years as they have grown and expanded from 3 to 75 people. Aegis has helped Amyris expand their lab and office space in a constrained market through creative lease arrangements and by being ahead of the curve. The incremental expansion has allowed Amyris to control expansion and preserve cash during a time of rapid growth.
