Embodied carbon in construction materials is a major global emissions source, and conventional manufacturing pathways are struggling to decarbonize at the necessary speed. Standard materials like polystyrene or ceramics often force builders to choose between insulation, fire safety, and sustainability. Tattva’s platform offers a photosynthetic alternative to petrochemical foams and ceramics.
The ValleyDAO community approved a $70,000 investment in Tattva and a partnership to launch an IPToken and release a consumer biotech product or art piece made from Stromate. Our rational for the investment was the combination of the founders unique expertise in both architecture and biotechnology, the team he has onboarded, progress in scale-up (having cut manufacturing costs by an additional 90%), and the traction with large industry customers such as Tata Steel, Voorbij Prefab, JPvan Estreen, and ITC Limited. Combined, these companies have a total annual turnover of $37B.
