Adaptavate, a global pioneer in developing and industrialising low-carbon and carbon-negative construction materials, has successfully raised £2.7 million in a pre-Series A funding round. Asia-based investor Undivided Ventures and European VC arm Skreenhouse Ventures by SigmaRoc have made significant investments, with participation from other industry players as well as some of the company’s existing investors.
As part of this round, Adaptavate has also entered into a strategic partnership with SigmaRoc to create a robust and resilient supply chain for calcium carbonate-based wallboards and explore the production and distribution of Adaptavate’s products across Europe as part of ‘Project Crystal’.
The new funding will be used on ‘Project Crystal’—Adaptavate’s upcoming industrial demonstrator facility to accelerate the scale-up and global adoption of Adaptavate’s low-carbon technology and flagship product, Breathaboard. Adaptavate’s proprietary technology has the potential to transform the global construction industry, promoting circular and healthier building materials while reducing carbon emissions by up to 4kg per m² with its sustainable plasterboard alternative.
Adaptavate has achieved several milestones over the last year with Breathaboard. The product hit international wallboard industry standards and has been trialled on major commercial sites in the UK with partners like British Land, Royal London Asset Management Property and Overbury.
In recent years, the company has secured nearly £9 million through a combination of investment and public grants. With Project Crystal now underway, Adaptavate’s vision of making planet-positive construction a reality is closer than ever.
