Our newest investment: ExoMatter Recent development in AI is opening up opportunities for progress in the materials science sector - a great example how innovation on the software level we can achieve innovation on the physical level. ExoMatter platform is solving challenges of finding new types of materials for the industrial, chemical and manufacturing industry. These industries are in ever increasing pressure for finding efficiency on the cost level and environmental impact level. At ZAKA VC we are proud to be backing the ExoMatter team and expanding our deep tech portfolio of our newest fund. Founders Barbara Bachus and Josua Vieten have proven the value of their platform even in the earliest stages - with customers as Airbus or Infineon. What is ExoMatter? ExoMatter leverages AI and quantum chemical modeling to revolutionize materials R&D, enabling companies to discover completely new materials optimized for performance, cost, and sustainability. ExoMatter accelerates the material development process by up to 90%, massively reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions, also making the process not only faster and more efficient but also significantly more environmentally friendly. Material R&D Materials research faces many challenges: developing new materials can take six years or more and often relies on time-consuming trial-and-error processes. Future regulations are also expected to complicate material development, as these new combinations will have to meet stringent sustainability criteria. ExoMatter taps into the vast potential of unexplored materials—an array greater than the number of stars in the universe. By harnessing AI and quantum-level calculations (DFT), the platform navigates these possibilities and optimizes materials for performance, cost, and sustainability. This helps companies save time, reduce risk, and increase their return on investment. Congrats on the newest 1.7m Eur pre-seed round alongside fellow investors Vanagon.vc, Bloomhaus Ventures AG, 212 NexT, Bayern Kapital and female angels from encourageventures e.V. #deeptech #materialscience #ai #preseed #vc #investment #munich
