IonVe - Electrochemical Reactors
Electrochemical energy systems, especially redox-flow batteries for stationary energy storage and electrolyzers, face a scalability bottleneck driven by complex, costly, and poorly optimized reactor (stack) architectures. Despite major investment and advances in chemistry, many designs remain direct scale-ups of laboratory hardware, relying on graphite/metal parts and multi-component assemblies that constrain design freedom, increase cost, and hinder manufacturability and rapid iteration. As a result, performance and reliability fall short of their true potential, delaying industrial adoption and large-scale deployment of energy-storage and conversion technologies.

CellaCure Technologies
Our startup addresses the gap between scientific research needs and the engineering expertise required to build customized 3D fabrication systems. Chemistry and biology research groups often require specialized polymer, extrusion-based, or elastomer constructs tailored to specific experimental parameters. However, commercial 3D printers rarely offer the flexibility or control needed, while building or modifying systems in-house demands advanced engineering knowledge that many labs lack. As a result, researchers face delays, outsourcing costs, and inefficient trial-and-error processes. We aim to provide fast, cost-effective, and reconfigurable fabrication systems that translate scientific requirements into reliable hardware without requiring extensive engineering expertise.

Buoyant Industries
Current air and ground freight systems use fossil fuels that create a lot of greenhouse gases and are expensive. Planes and trucks burn fuel quickly and can’t fly long distances without refueling. This makes transporting heavy cargo over long distances costly and bad for the climate, and current electric systems still struggle to match the range needed for large freight.
