| Phaseshift Technologies | PhaseShift Technologies is addressing the critical need for new materials that can overcome limitations in performance, efficiency, cost, availability, and sustainability. Traditional material development relies heavily on trial-and-error, requiring costly and time-consuming physical experiments. This approach can extend projects over 10-20 yearsand cost millions of dollars, with no guarantee of success.PhaseShift's Rapid Alloy Design (RAD)™ technology revolutionizes this process by using AI to create optimized alloys tailored to specific use cases. Paired with Multi-Scale Simulations to accurately predict material performance, RAD™ minimizes the time and effort spent on unsuccessful trials. This leads to faster, more efficient development cycles and a significant reduction in resources required to meet design goals.Through the RAD™ platform, PhaseShift designs a portfolio of innovative alloys, which are commercialized via strategic partnerships with manufacturers. | $3M | Seed | Oct 21, 2024 |  |
