The studio

Who we work with

We work with researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to build the next generation of climate-positive ventures, by design, not by chance.

Startups

We join as late founders. We bring capital, hands-on execution, and a proven methodology to build the company with you.

Researchers

We co-found ventures with people shaping tomorrow’s technologies. You bring the insight; we build the venture around it through brand, funding and the right team.

Asteria

As a bioinspired innovation generator, Asteria connects creators with Earth’s unique biodiversity to design tomorrow’s sustainable solutions.

Discover
MIS

Using nature-inspired strategies to create lower cost and more sustainable solutions for urgent water challenges such as PFAS and heavy metal contamination.

Discover
REEcover

Each ton of rare earths creates 2,000 tons of toxic waste, and demand will rise 7x by 2040. REEcover extracts rare earths elements from waste with 10x better separation, offering a sovereign, cleaner, circular alternative to mining.

Discover
Xatoms

Water contamination from PFAS, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals is a growing crisis. Xatoms uses AI and quantum chemistry to create photocatalysts for chemical-free water purification with sunlight or LEDs.

Discover
Nanoscale Labs

High costs keep nanomanufacturing out of reach, limiting advanced biomimetic materials deployment. Nanoscale Labs’ spray platform cuts nanomanufacturing costs 1000x, enabling scalable biomimetic surfaces like power-free adhesives and antibacterial coatings.

Discover
Melwear

UV exposure causes 3M+ skin cancer cases yearly, shorten product lifespans by 50%, costing billions in damage. Melwear’s responsive membranes incorporate bacterial melanin to dynamically darken upon exposure to UV rays.

Discover
ArtSilk

Synthetic fibers cause 500,000 tons of ocean microplastics and 40% of textile CO₂ emissions each year. ArtSilk develops an outperforming bioengineered spider silk fiber through a water-based, non-toxic spinning process.
