BlazeBalm™ offers a radically different approach to current market offerings, comprising of two innovative, bio-based wildfire solutions: a long-lasting retardant and a fast-acting suppressant. Using agricultural and aquaculture waste combined with low-tech biotechnology, BlazeBalm™ delivers powerful wildfire protection that is both effective and environmentally responsible.

About me

I’m Dr Alisha Fuller-Armah — founder and inventor of BlazeBalm™, a patent-pending wildfire defence system that transforms agricultural and aquaculture residues into durable, non-toxic wildfire protection. I’m a third-time founder, with a track record of building ventures across the UK and the Americas, including a bootstrapped 7-figure exit. Cambridge-educated with a PhD in Business Management, I invented BlazeBalm in the fire-vulnerable wilds of Scotland and bootstrapped the early R&D to de-risk the technology before securing non-dilutive innovation funding.

With BlazeBalm, I sit at the intersection of circular economy, nature-based materials and wildfire resilience — delivering practical climate adaptation designed for scale.

BlazeBalm is built for the reality of escalating fire risk: protecting wildfire-affected communities worldwide, as well as agencies, utilities, forestry operators, insurers, infrastructure owners, heritage bodies and defence installations. It protects assets without water, grid power, petrochemicals or specialist crews — with an inbuilt digital layer for traceability, verification and evidence.

I’m particularly interested in consortia and commercial partnerships spanning climate resilience, waste valorisation, forestry, construction, utilities, insurance, infrastructure and emergency management — to deliver solutions with measurable environmental benefit and a clear route to global commercial adoption.
