The Catalytic Innovation Seed Fund was announced in June 2019 to provide frontier capital and market acceleration services to early stage startups in the areas of sustainable chemistry, bio-benign materials and the UN Sustainable Development goals.

​

Participants were selected through a highly competitive process incorporating annual innovation challenges, partnerships with research labs, patent databases and Technology Transfer Offices, and individual solicitations. 

​

The Fund has supported over 100 startups through their catalytic phase and is now closed.
