InventWood

InventWood develops advanced wood materials offering superior strength and fire resistance, engineering building materials that are stronger and lighter than steel. The company's engineered wood has applications in construction and other industries, providing a safer alternative to traditional materials due to its fire-resistant properties. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in College Park, United States, InventWood has raised $50M in Series A funding from investors including DOE, Defense.gov, Grantham Foundation, Builders Vision, JLL, Baruch Future Ventures, and MUUS Climate Partners. The company employs 32 people and leverages cellulose nanotechnology to transform wood at the molecular level, creating materials with mechanical properties that exceed those of steel while remaining biodegradable and sourced from renewable resources, addressing the construction industry's need for sustainable high-performance structural materials.
