The Bath-based sustainable ingredients developer secured backing from Eos Advisory, Progress Tech Transfer, CDP Venture Capital, and Paragon Capital Management.
"Giovanna and her team are tackling one of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time, and we look forward to supporting Naturbeads through its next, exciting phase of commercialisation."
The funding round and associated grant were secured with support from angel investment network Lifted Ventures.
"We are thrilled to drive forward with our vision, transforming the engineered wood products industry with adhesives that are not only sustainable but support full lifecycle circularity. This latest funding, alongside the invaluable guidance from Lifted Ventures, allows us to accelerate the adoption of eco-friendly materials across the construction sector. Our adhesive technology is a crucial step towards a healthier planet and aligns perfectly with industry’s movement toward Net Zero."
The equity round was led by Green Angel Ventures and the Development Bank of Wales.
"Current carbon fibre material formats are expensive, hard to form into shape and highly wasteful with poor recycling routes. It is more expensive than aluminium and has a much higher footprint CO2e than steel, yet more than 90% end up in landfill."
Vertex Exploratory Fund and Clean Growth Fund co-led the £4m round to accelerate international expansion.
"The Vertex Exploratory Fund actively seeks out disruptive frontier technologies with climate as one of the core themes in our investment strategy. measurable.energy stood out as one of the most promising startups in the UK in the climate space, offering a low-touch, intuitive, and compliance-ready solution that effectively reduces power waste. The company is at the forefront of providing the tools necessary to drive positive change and the Vertex Exploratory Fund is proud to partner with them on this journey."
Renewable energy leader Drax backed the project with a £1m investment alongside a UK Government Clean Maritime grant.
"Wind is abundant, free, and exclusively available to any ship equipped to use it. Modern 21st century easily retrofittable wing sails lower the cost of propelling ships, which reduces the dependency on commodity-based fuels – whether fossil or alternative fuels – and improves supply chain certainty. Smart Green Shipping shares a joint mission with Drax Group to use renewables to move renewables. We are immensely grateful for the support from Drax Group to create seamless and easy-to-access wind solutions for cargo owners and ship owners. The first commercial installation of FastRig is incredibly exciting and an important milestone as we derisk the transition to wind for the whole shipping ecosystem."
