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.
