• Cambium

  Participated · Series B · Jan 2026

  Cambium fuses artificial intelligence, chemical informatics, and high-performance computing to create entirely new monomers and polymers hundreds of times faster than traditional R&D methods. The company then manufactures, tests, and scales these materials in-house on proprietary, aerospace-qualified production lines located in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe, enabling rapid prototyping and immediate scale-up for supply-chain security. Its product portfolio already includes ultra-high-temperature polymers, carbon-carbon thermal protection systems (ApexShield 1000™), machining-ready composite billets for solid-rocket motors, and metal-to-composite adhesives for air and space structures. A common platform approach allows Cambium to extend into future verticals such as optical and directed-energy protection and high-temperature foams. The recent acquisition of SHD gives Cambium one of the world’s largest qualified prepreg, film, and adhesive capacities, strengthening its global manufacturing footprint. Active contracts on multiple defense Programs of Record and dual-use applications position Cambium as a preferred advanced-materials partner across land, sea, air, and space. Investors describe the business as driving “fast, profitable growth,” though specific revenue or user metrics were not disclosed. The new capital will fund expansion of its distributed, secure manufacturing network and accelerate its product pipeline.

• Shardeum

  Participated · Equity · Jul 2023

  Shardeum is a scalable EVM-based layer-1 blockchain that deploys dynamic state sharding. Its dynamic state sharding approach keeps gas fees low and TPS high as participation grows by performing consensus at the transaction level and lowering the computational power required for validator nodes. This consensus mechanism aims to allow anyone to run a node and increase decentralization. The company intends to use the $5.4M in new funding to expand operations and accelerate development efforts. Operating metrics on the testnet as of July 7, 2023 include over 7.4 million transactions, 820K+ accounts and more than 230K contracts deployed. Shardeum raised an $18.2M seed round in October 2022 from investors including Jane Street, Big Brain Holdings, Struck Crypto, The Spartan Group, Ghaf Capital, DFG, CoinGecko Ventures and Foresight Ventures. Shardeum is a remote, EVM-based Layer 1 blockchain that implements sharding to increase transactions per second as nodes are added while retaining atomic cross-shard composability. The protocol emphasizes low gas fees forever and leverages dynamic state sharding to balance decentralization and security. Founded by Nischal Shetty and Omar Syed, the company raised $18.2M in Seed funding. Backers include Jane Street, Struck Crypto, The Spartan Group and a broad group of institutional and angel investors. The company plans to use the funds to further enhance its dynamic sharding technology, accelerate ecosystem development, and focus on product and design improvements. It will also expand research and marketing efforts and host hackathons in India and the U.S. to incentivize developers to build on the platform.
