InventWood raises a $1.5M Seed round

InventWood transforms nature’s oldest building material into something extraordinary. With SUPERWOOD, we’ve reinvented wood itself, delivering a building material that’s superstrong, superdurable, and engineered to outperform conventional alternatives. Our technology creates beautiful, biogenic buildings using domestically sourced wood, directly supporting the health and longevity of American forests. SUPERWOOD’s nano-cellulose-based innovation retains wood’s countless natural qualities, from its organic warmth and tactile feel to its intrinsic connection to natural environments, while providing unmatched performance. InventWood has received significant recognition and support, including a $20 million SCALEUP award from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2022, as well as funding from prominent organizations including Grantham, Builders Vision, JLL Foundation, and Baruch Future Ventures. With over $50 million in total capital secured, the company is poised to revolutionize the construction industry.

Impossible Objects raises a $40.0M round

Impossible Objects, based in Northbrook, IL, makes Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) systems that bring 3D printing to industrial-scale production. Its CBAM 25 platform prints composite parts — including carbon fiber — at production speeds, standing in for CNC machining and injection moulding rather than for prototyping. Parts are stronger, more precise and geometrically more complex than other additive methods allow, across a wider range of materials. Customers include the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army's Rock Island Arsenal — where the technology can support production of up to 10,000 drone bodies a month — the National Institute for Aviation Research, the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center and Rochester Institute of Technology.

Airbound raises a $37.0M Series A round

Airbound builds autonomous, zero-infrastructure delivery aircraft — engineered, manufactured, and flown in India. Its TRT blended-wing-body tailsitter takes off vertically without a runway and flies cargo to places roads serve badly, with an ultra-lightweight airframe that weighs less than the payload it carries. The Bengaluru company has logged over 13,000 autonomous flights, moves diagnostic samples for hospital networks today, and is targeting per-delivery costs low enough to compete with trucking. The Series A funds a three-city drone delivery network in Andhra Pradesh and a larger next-generation craft.

Mantel raises a $18.3M round

Mantel is developing the first molten-salt based carbon capture technology. Our molten borates are designed to operate at the high temperatures found inside boilers, kilns, and furnaces – enabling highly efficient carbon capture that has not been possible until now. Carbon capture can be applied across industry to reduce emissions - and even achieve net-negative emissions. By solving for efficiency Mantel can reduce energy losses by more than 60% and cut costs in half, unlocking carbon capture’s role in reaching global net zero.
