Debut Biotech
Traditional chemical manufacturing is often derived from petrochemicals, yet current biomanufacturing is limited by fermentation. Debut Biotech wants to deliver on the promise of biology by developing groundbreaking platform tools that overcome these limitations and drive biomanufacturing into new markets.
Gilmour Space Technologies
Gilmour Space is building a new suite of launch vehicles powered by low-cost hybrid propulsion. More affordable and dedicated access to space will catalyze the New Space economy.
Mantle
Creating these precision metal parts is the job of the $45B tooling industry. It has traditionally been a time-consuming and expensive process, which can act as a bottleneck in manufacturers' product launch schedules. Across industries, OEMs are facing pressure to reduce costs, iterate quickly, and improve product quality. They were stuck with existing conventional manufacturing techniques until Mantle came along with a revolutionary technology called TrueShape.
Phytoform
William Pelton and Nicolas Kral had a vision to making agriculture more sustainable. After studying together at Imperial College London for their PhDs, they joined forces to develop a technology that speeds up the process of building the next generation of crops that are more nutritious and sustainable.
Quaise Energy
New technology that can reliably and economically drill through super-hot, dense rock is necessary to unlock the potential of geothermal. After 15 years at Schlumberger leading downhole product and technology development, Carlos Araque has the experience and vision to break new ground.
Radian Aerospace
The concept of a spacecraft that could take-off like an airplane, ascend into orbit, and return to earth landing on a typical runway originated in the early 1960's. Imagine – a launch vehicle that relies only propellants and fluids, no disposable parts, no major hardware shed from the launch and burned up in atmosphere, unrecoverable. The notion for such a space-plane represents the ultimate aspiration of any mission beyond our Earth's atmosphere. And for over half a century, despite tremendous research and development for the holy grail of space travel, this notion of a single-stage vehicle has remained purely theoretical.
Sepion Technologies
Sepion Technologies is commercializing advanced polymeric materials to dramatically upgrade the energy density of lithium batteries produced by today’s gigafactories.
