Alitheon holds more than 55 issued patents around its technology. The firm says its solution links physical items to digital records via standard camera scans, eliminating external markers that can be damaged or spoofed. Alitheon is headquartered in Bellevue, Wash., and the company plans to use newly raised capital to accelerate global deployment of its technology. Financially, the most recent disclosed funding is the $8 million Series A1 announced in June 2026, with participation from Emerald Technology Ventures, eBay Ventures, and existing investors.

- Refiberd
Led · Equity · Apr 2025
Refiberd builds hyperspectral imaging and AI technology to identify textile fiber composition and enable accurate sorting for recycling. Its system can be integrated into existing recycling infrastructures so materials are processed with the correct methods and turned into new, usable fibers. The product targets the waste-sorting dilemma in fashion to advance textile-to-textile recycling. Refiberd was named eBay's Circular Fashion Innovator of the Year and received mentorship and industry access through the program. CEO Sarika Bajaj said the investment will help close a significant round, expand the technology to new recycling partners, and strengthen the company's AI capabilities. Refiberd is a US business. Refiberd builds hyperspectral imaging and AI systems to identify textile materials and blends to enable accurate sorting for textile-to-textile recycling. The company points hyperspectral cameras at garments, samples dozens to hundreds of bands of light, and uses neural networks plus generative AI to distinguish thousands of textiles and fill gaps in its dataset. Refiberd has assembled a sample library of over 10,000 entries and generates synthetic spectra to improve model accuracy for materials not present in its collection. One camera unit can eventually sort up to 7 million pounds of material, and the startup is targeting pilots with textile companies, chemical recyclers, mechanical recyclers, and textile sorters to refine its product. Founded three years ago by Sarika Bajaj and Tushita Gupta, Refiberd frames its work as a response to the roughly 14 million tons of clothing landfilled or incinerated annually in the U.S. The company will use its recent funding to roll out initial pilots and further develop its hardware and AI models.
