Visibuilt, founded in 2023, develops visiBINDER, a fermentation-produced mycelium binder designed as an alternative to fossil-derived bitumen and cement for paving and infrastructure. The company says its process can bind aggregate at near-room temperature, potentially reducing energy use and manufacturing emissions versus conventional asphalt production. Visibuilt has moved beyond the lab with industrial testing partnerships with NCC and Munck Asfalt, a strategic development partnership with Denmark’s leading concrete paver manufacturer IBF to create visiPAVER, and trials with Copenhagen Municipality. The startup is headquartered at the Alfa Laval Innovation House near Copenhagen and runs labs and pilot facilities at the Danish Technological Institute, employing roughly 18 people. Its near-term plans, supported by the €3.34 million seed raise, are to scale production capacity, validate the solution at larger scale, and expand its technical and commercial team. Visibuilt still faces regulatory hurdles, including the lack of an EU standard for non-oil asphalt binders and the need for CE marking before broader road deployment.
