Tiger Fiber is pioneering the next era in sustainable materials with the worlds first Class A fire-rated hemp insulation—a breakthrough that outperforms synthetic alternatives while meeting rigorous safety standards and setting new sustainability benchmarks. By integrating proprietary processing technology with Midwest-grown hemp in a closed-loop agricultural system, we create high-performance biomaterials that redefine possibilities across industries. Class A Fire Rating (ASTM E84): Our flagship hemp insulation achieves the highest fire safety benchmark while delivering superior thermal and acoustic performance. Unlike conventional options, Tiger Fiber products require no protective equipment—no masks, no gloves, no irritation. Naturally hypoallergenic and moisture-regulating, our materials create healthier environments while simplifying installation. Regenerative, Carbon-Negative Supply Chain: Locally sourced hemp enriches soil, improves water quality, strengthens rural economies, and significantly reduces embodied energy compared to conventional materials. This efficient model creates inherent cost advantages while aligning with emerging certifications like EPD and USDA BioPreferred. Advanced Multi-Stream Platform: + High-Performance Fibers – Extremely durable thermal/acoustic non-wovens with natural antimicrobial and hypoallergenic properties + High-Value Hurds – Strong, breathable building components with exceptional strength-to-weight ratios + Super Absorbent Fines – Effective for erosion control, water filtration, and soil remediation with positive environmental impact Our proprietary technologies unlock hemps full potential in biocomposites, packaging, and advanced manufacturing—solving critical industry challenges that synthetic materials can’t address. By combining American milling expertise, high-tech natural resources, and materials science, Tiger Fiber is developing specialized solutions for sectors beyond traditional construction applications

Everywhere is a carbon neutral, 100% recycled apparel company dedicated to creating a more sustainable and circular future. Our wholesale basic and private label offerings save fresh water, lower carbon impact and prevent textiles from entering the landfill. Weve pioneered soft, durable, biodegradable 100% recycled cotton fabrics to avoid the microplastic pollution released by the majority of competing recycled textiles which incorporate recycled polyesters (rPET). We make premier 100% recycled cotton, GRS certified fabric and finished goods for the worlds top brands. Weve developed easy-to-use software that brings deeper consumer engagement, transparency and circularity via on product QR code and NFC tags. Everywheres software connects physical products with the digital world allowing consumers to learn a product’s origin story, make additional purchases, socially share, manage end-of-life recycling or re-commerce options.

The first venture fund built around an 80-year-old talent filter that venture capital has never priced. Theres a massive attribution gap in venture: the market credits the accelerator or the university, but the best deep tech founders were already identified — at 16 — through elite science competitions. This cohort has produced 29 unicorns worth over $750B in enterprise value — including household names in AI, biotech, fintech, and robotics. Across hundreds of companies: 15% unicorn rate (3.2× YC), 65% Series A graduation, ~10% loss rate vs. 30–40% industry typical. Science Fair Fund invests exclusively in this cohort at the pre-seed. The edge is proprietary: a database of 50,000+ alumni profiles, an ML scoring model validated across two decades of outcomes, and real-time monitoring that surfaces founders before they raise — often before they realize theyre starting a company. Over 2,200 alumni have opted in to source deals, co-invest, and open doors. The pipeline renews every year: ~2,000 new ISEF finalists and STS scholars from 175,000 participants. Everyone else is buying in free agency. This is the farm system. Pre-seed revenge of the nerds investing powered by the worlds oldest talent filter. https://sciencefairfund.com
