Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is submitted on behalf of FibroBiologics, Inc. (the “Company”) in response to comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on March 15, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”), as set forth in the Staff’s letter dated March 25, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”).
Set forth below are the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments in the Comment Letter. For reference purposes, the text of the Staff’s comments is reproduced in bold below, followed by the Company’s response to the comment. The numbered paragraphs below correspond to the numbered comments in the Comment Letter.
Additionally, the Company is concurrently filing Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 2”), which reflects revisions in response to the Comment Letter and certain other updates.

2. | We note your response to comment 3 and re-issue in part. Please disclose whether the Registered Stockholders engaged in any short selling of the company’s securities or other hedging activities prior to entering into the GEM SPA. |
Company Response: Please note that the Registered Stockholders could not have engaged in any short selling of the Company’s securities or other hedging activities prior to entering into the GEM SPA because the Company was not publicly listed prior to the execution of the GEM SPA. That said, in response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised Amendment No. 2 in the Risk Factors and Plan of Distribution sections to disclose the additional information requested above with respect to the activities of the Registered Stockholders.
