Mitra Chem is the first lithium-ion battery materials manufacturer focused on shortening the lab-to-production timeline by over 90%, addressing the largest barrier to innovation: R&D and scale-up speed.

DexMat is the maker of Galvorn, a conductive carbon nanomaterial that outperforms GHG-intense alternatives. 10x stronger than steel, half the weight of aluminum, and 100x the flex life of copper, the combination of these historically valued properties allows customers to reimagine the products they build. Made in America, Galvorn can have a carbon-negative impact at scale. Our mission is to drive the next industrial revolution by making dirty metals and materials obsolete. Available today in the form of fiber, yarns, films, and fabrics, when adopted at scale across industries such as sporting goods, e-textiles, wires and electronics, energy, aerospace, and automotive, Galvorn represents a multi-gigaton carbon reduction opportunity.

DoubleLoop is a strategy development platform for creating alignment maximizing impact with a visual strategy map.

Tatcha is a skincare brand rooted in timeless Japanese wisdom, offering transformative yet kind-to-skin formulas that marry Japanese botanicals with clinical ingredients. Our formulation philosophy is informed by the Japanese concept hinou dokon, which means “skin-mind same root”—an acknowledgement of the powerful connection between the skin and the brain. Guided by the mission to care for people through their skin, Tatcha takes a holistic approach to skincare from concept to formulation to clinical evaluation, offering skincare rituals that benefit both skin and mind, while emphasizing the importance of mindfulness to skin health. Tatcha is grateful to support Room to Read’s mission of world change through education. Every purchase supports education equality through a partnership with the leading nonprofit for childrens literacy and girls education. As of October 2022, Tatcha has funded 7 million days of school for girls in Asia and Africa, and supported the printing and distribution of 155,000 inclusive books for underserved children in the US. In 2019, Tatcha was acquired by Unilever Prestige. A global company based in San Francisco and Tokyo, it is distributed in over 10 countries.
