About Us
We are a fast-growing stealth startup located in San Jose, CA. Our company has developed a breakthrough technology to custom design and manufacture 3D graphene and other carbon materials. Graphene has the promise to transform many industries as this carbon-based material is over 100 times stronger than steel, flexible, transparent, a great thermal conductor and the most conductive material that we know exists. The list of possible applications is expansive, including transparent touch displays, IoT sensors, game-changing battery electrodes, semiconductors, innovative composite materials and solar panels - just to name a few.
Our leadership team is seasoned in leading startups from an early stage to multi-billion-dollar companies. Our development teams have extensive experience in successfully launching products from conception to production. As validation that we are on the forefront of this coming transformation, we have acquired multiple revenue producing commercial and government contracts and recently closed a large round of funding and have opened a new production facility in San Jose to scale our production and accelerate our growth in key product development areas. ​
