Materials and chemistryMountain View, CaliforniaFounded 2021Website ↗

Develops and makes iron-based battery cathode materials (LFP and LMFP) with machine learning and automation in its own pilot plant, and now calls itself an AI-native platform for scaling up critical materials, with a foundry and process models it plans to deploy in customers' factories.

  • 2026-11-08Qingxi ZhiyanAngel · nearly 100M yuanBuilds models that read materials characterisation data (X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, Raman and others), puts them into instruments and process equipment, and takes contract materials R&D; its first own material is a rare-earth permanent magnet.
  • 2026-10-19MATARIASeed · tens of millions of yuanBuilds a multiscale materials model, from atoms to finished parts, that proposes candidates, narrows them with automated DFT and finite-element tools, and is tested by instrumented experiments; composites come first, then semiconductor and infrared materials.
  • 2026-10-15HolyvoltVenture round · $45MTrains battery-materials models on 18 years of cell-cycling data from the high-throughput lab it acquired, Wildcat Discovery Technologies, and lets the models choose what the lab makes and cycles next. Its first material is DRX, a cathode family with neither nickel nor cobalt.
  • 2026-10-13AlbertSeries B · $55MSoftware and AI for chemistry and materials R&D at chemical and consumer-goods companies: it captures experiments, structures the data and lets scientists search and reason over it, suggest formulations and design experiments.
  • 2026-10-12Matter MachinePre-Series A · £4MA University of Liverpool spin-out pairing AI prediction with experimental and characterisation expertise to find inorganic crystalline materials, aimed at batteries and catalysts.
  • 2026-09-24Soge Intelligent ComputingAngel · tens of millions of yuanAtomistic AI models with long-range interactions, fast parallel simulation and battery device modelling, sold to battery and chemicals firms; spun out of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
