Who Is Fecula Biotech
Fecula Biotech is a Taiwanese biotech startup that transforms agricultural by-products into high-value health supplement ingredients. Their core technology uses resistant starch from green bananas as a natural encapsulation material, protecting bioactive compounds like probiotics so they can reach the digestive tract intact. The company has received an SBIR grant from Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs, been recognized as an outstanding vendor by the Tainan City Government, and earned multiple national awards including the National Innovation Award and the Taiwan BIO Awards.
The technology and R&D capabilities are there. But on Amazon, getting your products discovered by the right consumers is a challenge every brand faces.
The Challenge: A Niche Product in a Massive Marketplace
As a startup, Fecula Biotech operates with limited resources. Unlike established brands that can test broadly and optimize over time, every dollar of ad spend needs to count. The challenge wasn’t product quality. It was discoverability.
“As a startup company, with our resources being quite limited, our main aspiration is to more precisely pinpoint our ideal target audience.”
— Dr. Chih-Ming Chen (Miles), CEO, Fecula Biotech
Health supplements is one of the most competitive categories on Amazon. And Fecula’s products are highly specialized, meaning the pool of ideal customers is specific rather than broad. Finding those customers through manual keyword targeting and bid adjustments was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Adding to the difficulty: the team is based in Taiwan, far removed from the search behavior and purchasing patterns of American consumers. What keywords do they use to find products? Which audience segments actually represent potential buyers? These are hard to gauge by intuition alone from the other side of the Pacific.
“When considering the needs of international markets, from a Taiwanese viewpoint, it can sometimes prove quite challenging to accurately comprehend what foreign consumers truly desire.”
— Dr. Chih-Ming Chen (Miles), CEO, Fecula Biotech
After five to six years of operating on Amazon and building up hard-won experience, Fecula knew they needed a more systematic approach to audience targeting.
The Solution: Let AI Find the Right Audience
Fecula Biotech integrated BQool’s AI Advertising to solve their core problem: making every ad dollar work harder by reaching the right people.
“With limited resources, AI truly allows us to pinpoint our target audience with much greater accuracy. AI-powered tools can actively search and extract information from the internet that it considers to be of significant value, helping us select the most appropriate audience for our products.”
— Dr. Chih-Ming Chen (Miles), CEO, Fecula Biotech
Instead of manually guessing which keywords and audiences might convert, BQool’s AI analyzed advertising data to identify high-value customer segments, the consumers who were genuinely looking for specialized health supplements and most likely to purchase.
The Results: Beyond Expectations
After nearly a year of working with BQool’s AI Advertising, the impact showed up in both ad performance and financial results.
“From the results of a trial conducted over nearly a year, we truly saw its effectiveness. Its impact was beyond our expectations, leading to a very significant improvement in our ACoS. Our products gained visibility among a much wider audience, those truly suited for our company’s health supplements. I believe this is an absolutely wonderful development.”
— Dr. Chih-Ming Chen (Miles), CEO, Fecula Biotech
The improvement wasn’t just in advertising metrics. It showed up where it matters most for a startup: the bottom line.
“In our recent financial reports, a significant improvement can be very clearly observed.”
— Dr. Chih-Ming Chen (Miles), CEO, Fecula Biotech
Looking Ahead
With a still-growing product line, Miles sees BQool’s AI as a foundation for scaling, not just a tool for today’s campaigns.
“If our future product lines are developed appropriately, and we utilize BQool’s system to connect with and analyze our AI customer segments, I believe the overall performance on the Amazon platform will experience a relatively predictable growth.”
— Dr. Chih-Ming Chen (Miles), CEO, Fecula Biotech
