Meet Our Members: Introducing Greentown’s Newest Startups of Q4 2024

Twelve climatetech startups joined our community in Q4 2024, working on technologies ranging from osmotic power, to membrane-based dehumidifiers, to CO2-based sustainable polymers.

We’re thrilled to support these groundbreaking climatetech startups—let us introduce you!

Agriculture

NET Offset’s AI-powered optimization software enhances profits and reduces risks in physical commodity trading. The model selects where to purchase raw materials, when to store them, how best to transport them between markets, where to process them, and when to sell them to industrial buyers, all while ensuring the strategy does not exceed a value-at-risk metric.

Prophet AI’s AI-based poultry-health-monitoring system aims to create a 2 percent reduction in chicken mortality in the United States—saving the industry $600M in revenue, avoiding the waste of 2 MMT of CO2 emissions, and preventing 180 million chicken deaths annually, according to the startup.

Buildings

Trellis Air is making commercially viable, membrane-based dehumidifiers that use 80 percent less energy than desiccant wheels, require 50 percent less energy than standalone dehumidifiers, and eliminate reheat energy from buildings.

Electricity

Heliotrope Photonics’s innovative coating technology enhances solar-panel performance by transforming wasted sunlight, delivering a power boost of up to 15 percent.

Sweetch Energy’s membrane-based technology taps into osmotic power, which stems from encounters between fresh and salt water and could ultimately cover up to 15 percent of global electricity needs by 2050.

Manufacturing

Allkemie is a materials company with proprietary technology that produces tailored graphene and other nanomaterials at scale and at a low cost.

BlueShift Carbon aims to disrupt the scaling of direct ocean capture through the rapid deployment of a low-cost, energy-efficient, redox-based, membrane-free electrochemical CO2-removal solution named Triton.

Dottir Labs’s cutting-edge sensor technology provides real-time, detailed chemical analysis of water to accelerate food and environmental sustainability.

LoopCO2 transforms carbon dioxide into sustainable polymers to create fully recyclable materials, targeting markets including polyurethane and thermoplastic polyurethanes.

NeuroBionics is developing a device for minimally-invasive endovascular deep-brain stimulation to enhance stroke rehabilitation outcomes for patients. Its tech reduces greenhouse-gas emissions by avoiding resource-intensive manufacturing processes, eliminating the need for clean rooms, avoiding harsh chemicals, and reducing the use of potent greenhouse gases for anesthesia.

studio 3e8 specializes in lightspeed metal 3D printing, making professional-grade fabrication affordable, compact, and easy to use.

Transportation

Inductive Robotics is developing an autonomous EV-charging service for parking lot operators to rapidly deploy EV charging without upfront costs or commitments and scale with demand.
