Evolved By Nature develops a proprietary library of Activated Silk™ molecules derived from natural silk protein to protect, repair, and enhance the barrier function of surfaces. Its Activated Silk biotechnology is positioned to enable next-generation products across textiles, personal care, aesthetic and medical treatments, therapeutics and more. The company reports commercial adoption of its biodegradable, high-performance finishes by fashion brands including Anya Hindmarch, nylon mills such as Alpine Creations and Apex Holdings, and leather tanneries including Richard Hoffmans GmbH & Co. KG, Cyclica Srl and Curtidos Bengala. The financing will support commercialization of the Activated Silk technology platform and the company’s goal of reducing dependence on synthetics and fossil-fuel derivatives. The round coincides with the launch of a full-scale manufacturing facility in Walpole, Massachusetts, which will ramp production to 900 metric tons of Activated Silk™ per year. Evolved By Nature was founded in 2013 by Dr. Greg Altman (CEO) and Dr. Rebecca Lacouture (President, COO) and is based in Boston, Massachusetts.
