We make the materials at the edge of what your process can tolerate, and we get faster at it with every experiment.
The problem
Advanced industries are running out of margin for error. Semiconductor chemicals that were once fine at parts-per-billion contamination now need parts-per-trillion for critical elements. Battery electrolytes live or die on trace water and acid. Pharmaceutical routes still lean on hazardous steps and precious metals, and new-chemical approvals in the US routinely take longer than the statutory 90 days.
Meanwhile, the companies that set out to fix this by “programming biology” have often hit the wall between the lab and the plant.
What we make
- High-purity solvents, etchants, precursors and intermediates for semiconductor, energy-storage and pharmaceutical customers
- Custom-synthesized molecules and formulations built to your specification
- Bio-enabled materials: engineered enzymes, biocatalytic steps and bio-based chemicals
- Toll processing of your materials through our equipment
- Licensed process technology for partners who want to manufacture themselves
How we are different
One loop, three disciplines. Chemistry, biology and AI run together: our models propose, automated systems build, our analytics measure, and results retrain the models. Each cycle is faster and better informed than the last.
Proprietary data. Our advantage comes from our own experiments, including failures, not from public datasets everyone shares.
Built for manufacturing. Every route is designed for scale from the first experiment. Safety, quality systems and regulatory strategy are part of the product.
Honest about the technology. We add autonomy in stages, validate models prospectively, and control any model used in regulated production. We would rather be reliably useful than loudly ambitious.
Who it is for
- Semiconductor fabs and suppliers seeking regional, qualified, ultra-clean materials
- Battery and energy-storage makers who need tightly controlled materials and faster additive discovery
- Pharmaceutical developers who want greener, more controllable routes
- Coatings, specialty-materials and advanced-manufacturing companies who need performance and fast iteration
- Manufacturers who want proven process technology to license
Where we are
- Stage and facilities: privately held, founded 2023. We operate a 30,000-square-foot pilot facility outside Boston with fermentation, purification and analytical suites under one roof, plus a dedicated computational team.
- First products and customer trials: an electronic-grade etchant line is in qualification with two semiconductor customers; a biocatalytic step for a chiral pharmaceutical intermediate is in active development with a specialty pharma partner.
- Next milestones: scaling our pilot etchant line to production volumes in 2027, and opening toll-processing capacity for a third industry vertical.
