  • Alva Industries

    Led · Equity · Jul 2026

    Alva Industries develops ultra-compact, frameless electric motors using its patented FiberPrinting manufacturing technology to deliver high torque density and cogging-free performance. Headquartered in Trondheim, the company serves customers across robotics, aerospace, defence, medical technology, industrial automation and autonomous systems. Alva reports hundreds of active customer projects across commercial and defence markets and growing demand from OEMs in robotics, aerospace and medical devices. The company manufactures its products in Norway and plans to significantly scale production capacity to meet increasing international demand. The recent equity financing will fund manufacturing expansion, further product development and support its international growth plans.

  • Alitheon

    Led · Series A · Jun 2026

    Alitheon develops FeaturePrint, an optical-AI system that captures unique surface details of physical objects to create immutable digital identities without tags, labels, or stickers. The company positions FeaturePrint as a 1-to-1 serialization method that enables provenance, anti-counterfeiting, and zero-trust verification across industries from industrial parts to healthcare and luxury goods. 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.

  • Thea Energy

    Participated · Series B · May 2026

    Thea Energy builds pixel-inspired rectangular magnets and software to generate and fine-tune stellarator magnetic fields, using many smaller planar coils to shape plasma confinement. The company says its approach lets software control arrays of regular magnets to create complex stellarator fields, and it has built dozens of full-scale magnet iterations in its Jersey City lab. Thea originally spun out of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and has iterated its design to include a set of larger magnets alongside more than 300 smaller coils that fine-tune the plasma. With $130 million in total private funding after the new Series B, Thea is scaling magnet manufacturing and plans to begin construction of its Eos demonstration reactor next year. The company aims to complete Eos by 2030 and bring a commercial device, Helios, online in 2034.

  • P2 Science

    Participated · Equity · May 2026

    P2 Science develops proprietary, nature-inspired chemical processes to produce renewable specialty ingredients with a focus on performance and sustainability at scale. The company has launched beauty ingredients including Citrolatum® P, a 1:1 plant-based petrolatum replacement, and CitroComplex® Nourish, a natural oil blend for skin and hair, and entered a strategic partnership with Algenesis to develop 100% biobased, biodegradable polyurethanes. P2 has been recognized by Fast Company in 2025 and 2026 and was selected for L'Oréal's L'AcceleratOR sustainable innovation accelerator. It recently received $2.8 million in non-dilutive ARPA-E funding to accelerate catalyst innovation via AI-enhanced autonomous labs. The company plans to use its new equity financing to scale commercial production in beauty and expand its platform into adjacent markets such as aroma technologies, performance polymers, home care, coatings, and crop care. P2 was co-founded by Professor Paul Anastas and Dr. Patrick Foley at Yale's Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering and is based in Woodbridge, Connecticut.

  • FREDsense

    Participated · Series A · Sep 2025

    FREDsense Technologies Corp. develops and sells portable water-quality testing solutions that replace lengthy laboratory analysis with same-day, onsite results. Its flagship product, FRED-PFAS, allows environmental and industrial customers to detect per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other contaminants quickly, helping them locate hotspots, verify clean-ups, and optimize treatment processes. The core technology lowers remediation costs by shortening turnaround times and enabling real-time decision-making in the field. Customers use the platform to stay compliant with tightening water regulations and accelerate remediation projects. With fresh Series A capital, the company plans to expand both operations and product development, presumably broadening its sensor portfolio and scaling manufacturing. The recent $7 million raise brings the company’s total known funding to at least that amount, although no revenue or user figures were disclosed in the article.
