Material Science

At the heart of the drug discovery and development process lies an indisputable truth: companies can test for many compounds but, in order to advance to further stages, they need to be able to manufacture it. Molecule.One is an AI-driven chemist that predicts the best possible synthetic pathways for any desired compound. Their software platform, powered by state-of-the-art machine learning models, discovers the cheapest and easiest way to synthesize any given compound from commercially available molecules. We’re excited to support the team as they build the future of chemistry.

FLO Materials is commercializing a novel circular polymer platform called ECANs to enable the manufacturing and recycling of sustainable alternatives to high performance plastics, including thermosets and mixed material composites used in durable goods. The recycling can be performed at low temperature, low energy, in the absence of catalysts, and even in mixed waste streams without compromising quality and efficiency. FLO's technology unlocks the potential to create complex, multi-plastic products that can be manufactured easily and recycled into another product of equal or higher performance and value.
