| Eben Bayer and Gavin McIntyre are fascinated by mushrooms growing on wood chips and observing how the fungal mycelium strongly bonds the wood chips together. This inspired them to think of new ways of using mycelium as a resin. In a class at Rensselaer called Inventor's Studio, they applied this new process for binding together insulatingparticles, creating Greensulate. Rather than just decreasing the environmental impact of conventional polystyrene foams, this invention creates a whole new paradigm where composite materials are literally grown, harnessing the incredible efficiency of nature. Shortly after founding the company, they won small grants from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA). This funding was used to create initial samples of the material. This proof of concept enabled the company to win bigger grants from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to further develop the products. Since then, Ecovative has won many more awards and grants that have enabled the company to continue to grow and accelerate the production of these revolutionary eco-friendly materials.At Ecovative, they are passionate about sustainability. That is why they are working with nature to replace unsustainable plastics and foams with natural composites. Using innovative new materials and radical new technologies, their products perform at least as well as current state-of-the-art synthetics, but at a lower cost to both you and the environment. | $30M / Series E / Jun 14, 2023 | ||

| Sealed is the easiest, most affordable way to make your house more comfortable and efficient. In partnership with energy utilities and certified contractors, we solve the problems that make houses too hot, too cold, and too wasteful.Upgrades like HVAC, insulation, air sealing, and smart home technology keep your house working and feeling great inany weather. We coordinate projects from beginning to end, and we stand behind our work. If we don’t reduce your home’s energy use, we don’t get paid.Mission:Sealed is on a mission to unlock comfort, value, and efficiency hidden in peoples' homes. We offer smart home retrofits and turnkey project management to make upgrading your house a snap. Through our innovative performance payment program, we cover the upfront costs of the installations. Homeowners then pay Sealed using the energy they save. We believe in standing behind our work: if Sealed customers don't save energy, we don't get paid.Over 50% of single-family homeowners have significant comfort or other problems (health, safety, etc.) that could be solved with energy-saving upgrades (insulation, new boiler, smart thermostat, etc.). Most homeowners would prefer to pay for these upgrades with their energy savings rather than pay cash or take out a loan. But historically, banks have not been willing to lend money based on residential energy savings unless they feel confident in the underlying analytics.Sealed’s HomeAdvance financing program provides capital to cover the upfront costs of energy-saving upgrades. After the upgrades are installed, customers pay Sealed based on the amount of energy they save, guaranteed. Sealed’s proprietary data, analytics, and software enable investment-grade energy savings predictions. Sealed’s IP has enabled the first debt facility backed by residential energy savings cashflows (New York Green Bank) and the first residential energy savings insurance policy (Munich Re).Sealed reaches customers via local dealers (contractors), utilities, and digital marketing. Sealed recruits, trains, and manages dealers, helping them sell more projects with the Sealed HomeAdvance program. Sealed also works with utilities (National Grid, Con Edison, etc.) that market Sealed’s services in exchange for fixed and lead generation fees. | $29.5M / Series B / Apr 28, 2022 | ||
