| Porelio is an environmental technology that provides purification technologies for water and industrial chemicals. | $2.7M / Pre-Seed / Jul 07, 2026 | ||
| Jimmy develops and operates thermal generators that supply industrial facilities with process heat produced through nuclear fission. The company designs compact generators that use high-temperature reactor technology to create heat without combustion and deliver it to industrial systems through heat transfer circuits. Its systems connect to factoryinfrastructure and provide heat for processes such as steam production, thermal oil heating, or hot air generation. Jimmy installs, operates, and manages these generators as integrated energy units adapted to the heat demand of each industrial site. The technology relies on micro-reactor architecture and modular deployment so multiple units can be combined to match required thermal output. Through this approach, Jimmy provides industrial heat that replaces fossil-fuel-based heat sources in manufacturing and processing operations. | $46.1M / Venture - Series Unknown / Mar 09, 2026 | ||
