PANAMA CITY, Sept. 18, 2025 — Grvt, the preeminent DEX (decentralized exchange) for onchain financial privacy that is powered by zero-knowledge (“ZK”) technology, today announced the close of a $19 million Series A funding round. This investment strengthens Grvt’s pioneering position as the global blueprint for the future of finance, accelerating its mission to disrupt the fragmented onchain finance ecosystem by addressing longstanding industry challenges, including privacy vulnerabilities, security, scalability and accessibility.

As Wall Street embraces blockchain technology, the next chapter of global finance is being written, and it’s happening onchain. In August, Ethereum‘s onchain volume reached over $320 billion, its highest level since mid-2021. Research also projects the DeFi sector to surge from $32.36 billion in 2025 to over $1.5 trillion by 2034.

However, this potential remains untapped due to critical concerns raised by a surge of issues on decentralized platforms. These issues include “whale hunting”, where large trades are front-run or exploited by sophisticated actors scanning the mempool. Such tactics lead to billions in annual losses from maximum extractable value (MEV) attacks and other manipulative tactics. Further challenges include smart contract exploits, compliance hurdles on public chains, a siloed onchain ecosystem, and a lack of ease of use for everyday people.

Grvt is the only player in the field with a solid head start and tech infrastructure to change that. The Series A round was co-led by Grvt’s foundational technology partner ZKsync; Further Ventures, a leading capital markets infrastructure investment firm based in Abu Dhabi, which also led the strategic investment round into Grvt (deal closed last December); EigenCloud (fka EigenLayer), a verifiable cloud platform that lets developers build any application; and 500 Global (formerly 500 Startups), a venture capital firm with $2.3B in AUM investing in founders with a global outlook building fast-growing startups.

Majority of the funds raised will accelerate Grvt’s multi-pronged product strategy, designed to serve both active traders and passive investors. This unique approach is absent from the current exchange scene, solidifying Grvt’s unrivaled position to dominate and unify the fragmented onchain financial landscape and bring it to mainstream. Key pipelines include:

• Fixed Yield Generation Flywheel: An industry-first yield vehicle that lets users effortlessly move funds between their funding, trading, and vault accounts, and maximize returns.
• Infrastructure: Keep strengthening Grvt’s privacy-by-default infrastructure which is lacking in the industry.
• Stablecoin-Enabled System: A robust stablecoin business foundation, including cross-exchange vaults and real-world asset (RWA) integrations.

The remaining funds will fuel community initiatives and talent acquisition to drive global expansion.

Hong Yea, co-founder and CEO at Grvt, commented: “Onchain finance has been held back by privacy gaps that expose users to exploitation. By building a privacy-driven, scalable, and trustless DEX that offers a wide array of structured products, Grvt exemplifies how ZK-powered solutions will become the new normal for everyone, realizing the vision of an open and secure onchain finance world.”

Alex Gluchoski, co-founder and CEO at Matter Labs, commented: “We believe ZK is the ‘HTTPS moment’ for crypto. Just as HTTPS took the internet mainstream by adding a layer of trust and privacy, ZK will do the same for Web3. Grvt is uniquely positioned to be the most liquid and impactful application layer to help realize this vision, their dedication and progress excellently demonstrates how ZK can bring onchain finance to mainstream.”

Faisal Al Hammadi, Managing Partner, Further Ventures, “Further Ventures is committed to backing the next generation of financial infrastructure from Abu Dhabi to the world. Grvt’s application of zero-knowledge proofs demonstrates how cutting-edge cryptography can underpin markets at institutional scale, and we are proud to support their vision for a truly borderless financial system.”

Sreeram Kannan, Founder and CEO at Eigen Labs, “Verifiable data powers verifiable compute, and with EigenDA now at 100 MB/s, the bottleneck has shifted from data to compute. Grvt is tackling that frontier head-on. Their ambitious vision is matched by the caliber of their team, and we’re thrilled to back them alongside ZKSync in bringing onchain finance to cloud scale with the security and privacy it requires.”

Min Kim, General Partner at 500 Global, commented: “We believe the next frontier of finance will be built onchain, and privacy is a foundational element to unlock its full potential. Grvt’s vision of combining ZK technology with institutional-grade infrastructure aligns strongly with our thesis of backing global founders who are re-architecting core financial systems. We’re excited to partner with Grvt as they set a new standard for secure, private, and accessible onchain markets.”

A Collective Charge to Lead and Consolidate Onchain Finance

By implementing zero-knowledge (“ZK”) technology and integrating with the ZKsync technology which has been explored in proofs-of-concept by leading institutions like Deutsche Bank, UBS and more, Grvt is uniquely positioned as a blockchain-native global blueprint for what ZK is able to achieve for finance, making everyday trading and investing secure, fast, private, and accessible. This is how the ZKsync Stack helps solve key bottlenecks when bringing finance onchain:

• Privacy: Grvt runs a ZKsync Validium L2 blockchain that validates L2 state without publishing it, thereby ensuring privacy, an issue that has long plagued most DeFi protocols.
• Ethereum-level Security: With ZK proofs, L2 transactions inherit Ethereum-level security. Every batch of transactions is verified directly on Ethereum, this means that even though transactions are processed off-chain for speed and low cost, their validity is mathematically guaranteed. If any transaction were invalid, the proof would fail and Ethereum would reject it.
• Scalability: The ZKsync Stack improves scalability by operating as a L2 solution, enabling the processing of significantly more transactions than Ethereum‘s base layer.
• Accessibility: ZKsync technology makes transactions cheaper by handling them off-chain in bulk and only posting the essential proofs to Ethereum‘s base layer, cutting settlement costs dramatically.

As a key investment arm of Abu Dhabi’s strategic push into the blockchain space, Further Ventures’ co-leadership of the Series A round consolidates its leading position as a critical force in shaping onchain finance globally.

As one of the fastest-growing developer ecosystems in crypto, EigenCloud’s EigenDA, the #1 data availability solution for Ethereum rollups, provides Grvt with the scale and security needed to operate at cloud speed. By anchoring data to a decentralized validator network, EigenDA ensures that Grvt’s ZK stack remains both verifiable and scalable. Looking ahead, Grvt will also tap into EigenDA’s programmable privacy features, which resolve the long-standing paradox between data availability and privacy. This breakthrough allows Grvt to combine data availability with privacy guarantees, an achievement once thought impossible.

Looking Ahead

Building on Grvt’s innovative foundation, which has already delivered several industry firsts – such as a -1 bps maker fee rebate for all maker orders (a benefit traditionally reserved for institutions) – the immediate next step is the launch of our fixed-yield product. This product will ensure a 10% interest rate return for all users. We will also introduce our flagship market-making strategy, the Grvt Liquidity Provider (GLP), a fund strategy that provides high double-digit APRs, which was once inaccessible to retail traders.

Amid the industry’s rapid growth, this funding round establishes a robust, multi-layered foundation. It combines cutting-edge technology, institutional-grade infrastructure, and a secure data framework to create a platform that solidifies its strong position in the increasingly crowded onchain financial space.

La série C accélère le déploiement de la plateforme d’IA de PassiveLogic, afin de permettre un contrôle autonome dans le monde réel des bâtiments et des infrastructures.

SALT LAKE CITY  , 18 septembre 2025 — PassiveLogic, le pionnier de l’autonomie générative, annonce aujourd’hui obtenu 74 millions de dollars en financement de série C pour développer sa vision afin de répondre à la demande mondiale d’IA physique dans notre infrastructure quotidienne. noa, le plus grand investisseur en capital-risque d’Europe en matière d’infrastructures physiques, a mené le tour de table, rejoint par de nouveaux investisseurs, Prologis Ventures, Johnson Controls, et PSP Growth. Ils rejoignent les bailleurs de fonds existants Addition, NVentures (la branche capital-risque de NVIDIA), Keyframe et Brookfield, ce qui porte le financement total à plus de 125 millions de dollars.

PassiveLogic transforme la façon dont les bâtiments et les infrastructures physiques sont conçus, exploités et optimisés grâce à une plateforme de contrôle autonome inédite.

Alors que l’IA physique, la robotique industrielle et les humanoïdes arrivent à maturité, PassiveLogic propose la première plateforme « robot de robots » au monde, orchestrant des environnements entiers : capteurs, IoT, systèmes, énergie, infrastructures et autres automatismes. En étendant l’IA générative au-delà de la niche des grands modèles de langage au vaste monde des systèmes physiques, la plateforme permet à quiconque de concevoir ses propres systèmes autonomes et agents d’IA personnalisés pour le monde bâti.

La plateforme gère toute la complexité des environnements bâtis, des centres de données aux hôpitaux, en passant par les tours de bureaux et les campus industriels. Au-delà du contrôle entièrement autonome et intersystème de la navigation, elle ajoute des capacités de nouvelle génération telles que le suivi des actifs, la gestion dynamique de l’énergie, les jumeaux numériques environnementaux, la détection préventive des défaillances, la maintenance prédictive, l’analyse basée sur la physique et le contrôle adaptatif de l’environnement – apportant une intelligence holistique au niveau du système dans un domaine longtemps limité par une logique statique et basée sur des règles.

Hive, le moteur de décision en temps réel, activé par une grappe de GPU sur site, donne à chaque fonction du bâtiment, du chauffage à la ventilation en passant par l’énergie et la logistique, un cerveau intelligent unifié. En appliquant les technologies de robotique autonome aux infrastructures, PassiveLogic élargit le marché existant de l’automatisation des bâtiments (191 milliards de dollars d’ici 2030), en anticipation d’un marché mondial actuel des bâtiments autonomes estimé 1,3 trillion de dollars.

« En tant qu’investisseur de la première heure, nous avons constaté le potentiel de PassiveLogic à redéfinir l’automatisation du monde physique », a déclaré Gregory Dewerpe, fondateur et associé directeur de noa. « Sa plateforme ne vise pas seulement à économiser de l’énergie, mais à donner aux bâtiments la capacité de comprendre, de s’adapter et d’agir de manière autonome. C’est le type de technologie fondamentale qui manquait au monde bâti. »

« PassiveLogic apporte le type d’innovation que nous recherchons, non seulement en tant qu’investisseurs, mais aussi en tant qu’opérateurs. Sa plateforme procure une véritable autonomie aux systèmes de construction, permettant un contrôle plus intelligent, plus efficace et en temps réel de l’ensemble des environnements », a déclaré William O’Donnell, responsable mondial du développement et de la croissance de Prologis. « Nous sommes ravis de soutenir l’équipe et d’intégrer cette technologie dans notre portefeuille pour nous aider à opérer de manière encore plus intelligente à grande échelle. »

« Les bâtiments sont responsables de près de 40 % des émissions mondiales de carbone, mais la plupart d’entre eux sont encore contrôlés par des systèmes obsolètes conçus dans les années 1990 », a déclaré Troy Harvey, cofondateur et PDG de PassiveLogic. « Grâce à ce financement, nous accélérons le déploiement d’une véritable autonomie pour le monde bâti, permettant des systèmes qui ne sont pas seulement plus efficaces sur le plan énergétique, mais aussi fondamentalement plus intelligents, plus sûrs et plus réactifs dans tous les aspects opérationnels. »

L’écosystème de PassiveLogic comprend son produit phare, Hive, qui utilise des jumeaux numériques basés sur la physique en temps réel et des modèles d’IA pour prendre des décisions indépendantes au niveau de la milliseconde, Sense Nano, un capteur sans fil pour capturer des données d’occupation et environnementales en temps réel et Quantum Lens, une application mobile pemettant aux utilisateurs de créer un jumeau numérique entièrement défini de n’importe quel bâtiment à l’aide d’un simple smartphone. Ensemble, ces outils constituent une architecture évolutive qui s’adapte parfaitement aux nouvelles constructions et aux rénovations dans un large éventail d’installations.

À propos de PassiveLogic

PassiveLogic crée des logiciels d’IA générative pour l’environnement bâti, permettant une autonomie générative pour les objets et une collaboration universelle en temps réel entre les équipes en réimaginant la façon dont nous concevons, construisons, exploitons, entretenons et gérons les bâtiments et les systèmes industriels en tant que robots d’infrastructure. En utilisant l’IA informée par la physique et les jumeaux numériques Quantum, PassiveLogic est alimenté par le compilateur d’IA le plus rapide au monde, afin de fournir des systèmes de contrôle nouvelle génération. Les utilisateurs peuvent construire une infrastructure autonome générative en quelques minutes et collaborer facilement avec des agents d’IA grâce à une suite intuitive d’outils « choisissez votre propre aventure ».

L’entreprise saisit une opportunité générationnelle de réinventer l’automatisation des bâtiments – en remplaçant les systèmes de contrôle vieillissants par la première plateforme moderne de l’industrie alimentée par des agents d’IA physiques autonomes dans les bâtiments – tout en relevant le défi climatique.

• Recableando la autonomía: PassiveLogic recauda 74 millones de dólares para escalar la IA física en el mundo real

La ronda de la Serie C acelera la implementación de la plataforma de inteligencia artificial desde cero de PassiveLogic, lo que permite el control autónomo en el mundo real de edificios e infraestructura

SALT LAKE CITY, 18 de septiembre de 2025 — PassiveLogic, pionero en la categoría de autonomía generativa, anuncia hoy la obtención de 74 millones de dólares en financiación de Serie C para ampliar su visión y satisfacer la demanda global de IA física en nuestra infraestructura cotidiana. noa, la mayor firma de capital riesgo del mundo construido de Europa, lideró la ronda, junto con nuevos inversores: Prologis Ventures, Johnson Controls y PSP Growth. Estos se unen a los inversores existentes: Addition, NVentures (la división de capital riesgo de NVIDIA), Keyframe y Brookfield, elevando la financiación total a más de 125 millones de dólares.

PassiveLogic está transformando la forma en que se diseñan, operan y optimizan los edificios y la infraestructura física a través de una plataforma de control autónomo única en su tipo.

A medida que la IA física, la robótica industrial y los humanoides alcanzan su madurez, PassiveLogic ofrece la primera plataforma del mundo “robot de robots”, que orquesta entornos completos: sensores, IoT, sistemas, energía, infraestructura y otras automatizaciones. Al extender la IA generativa más allá del nicho de los LLM al amplio mundo de los sistemas físicos, la plataforma permite a cualquier persona diseñar sus propios sistemas autónomos y agentes de IA personalizados para el mundo construido.

La plataforma gestiona toda la complejidad de los entornos construidos, desde centros de datos y hospitales hasta torres de oficinas y campus industriales. Además de un control de búsqueda de rutas totalmente autónomo e intersistema, incorpora capacidades de última generación como el seguimiento de activos, la gestión dinámica de la energía, los gemelos digitales ambientales, la detección preventiva de fallos, el mantenimiento predictivo, el análisis basado en la física y el control ambiental adaptativo, aportando inteligencia holística a nivel de sistema a un campo que, desde hace tiempo, se ha visto limitado por la lógica estática y basada en reglas.

El motor de decisiones en tiempo real Hive, impulsado por un clúster de GPU in situ, integra todas las funciones del edificio, desde la climatización y la energía hasta la logística, en un cerebro inteligente unificado. Al aplicar tecnologías de robótica autónoma a la infraestructura, PassiveLogic está expandiendo el mercado actual de automatización de edificios (191.000 millones de dólares para 2030), proyectando un mercado global actual de edificios autónomos de 1,3 billones de dólares.

“Como uno de los primeros inversores, hemos visto el potencial de PassiveLogic para redefinir la automatización en el mundo físico”, explicó Gregory Dewerpe, fundador y socio director de noa. “Su plataforma no se centra solo en el ahorro energético, sino en dotar a los edificios de la capacidad de comprender, adaptarse y actuar de forma autónoma. Esta es la tecnología fundamental que el mundo construido ha estado echando en falta”.

“PassiveLogic ofrece la innovación revolucionaria que buscamos, no solo como inversores, sino también como operadores. Su plataforma aporta verdadera autonomía a los sistemas de edificios, permitiendo un control más inteligente, eficiente y en tiempo real en entornos completos”, afirmó William O’Donnell, director global de Desarrollo y Crecimiento Corporativo de Prologis. “Nos entusiasma apoyar al equipo e incorporar esta tecnología a nuestro portafolio para ayudarnos a operar de forma aún más inteligente a escala”.

“Los edificios representan casi el 40% de las emisiones globales de carbono; sin embargo, la mayoría aún se controlan con sistemas obsoletos diseñados en la década de 1990”, indicó Troy Harvey, cofundador y consejero delegado de PassiveLogic. “Con esta financiación, estamos acelerando el despliegue de una verdadera autonomía en el mundo construido, habilitando sistemas que no solo son más eficientes energéticamente, sino también fundamentalmente más inteligentes, seguros y con mayor capacidad de respuesta en todos los aspectos de sus operaciones”.

El ecosistema de PassiveLogic incluye su producto estrella, Hive, que utiliza gemelos digitales basados en la física en tiempo real y modelos de IA para tomar decisiones independientes en milisegundos; Sense Nano, un sensor inalámbrico que captura datos de ocupación y ambientales en tiempo real; y Quantum Lens, una aplicación móvil que permite crear un gemelo digital completamente definido de cualquier edificio con tan solo un smartphone. Juntas, estas herramientas sustentan una arquitectura escalable que se adapta perfectamente tanto a nuevas construcciones como a renovaciones en una amplia gama de instalaciones.

Through this collaboration, NVIDIA, Hoxton Ventures, Accel, Air Street Capital, Balderton, and Phoenix Court will provide capital to accelerate the growth of the UK’s AI ecosystem by addressing historic challenges such as limited access to supercomputing power, constrained venture capital outside London, and barriers between academia and entrepreneurship. The investment will support emerging startups in innovation hubs across London, Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, and beyond.

“Hoxton was founded on the belief that world-class companies can emerge from Europe — and the UK has the ingredients to be a global leader in AI,” said Hussein Kanji, Founder and Managing Partner at Hoxton Ventures. “By working with NVIDIA and other top investors, we’re bridging global scale with local knowledge to ensure that Britain’s brightest founders have the capital, compute, and infrastructure they need to build globally transformative businesses.”

This collaboration builds on Hoxton’s decade-long track record of backing ambitious UK and European founders at the forefront of AI and deeptech.  The UK has many companies that are pioneers in next-generation AI, novel computing architectures, robotics, and advanced materials—such as CuspAI, Machenta, Milvus Advanced, and Universal Quantum—many spun out of the UK’s leading research institutions (Imperial College London, Oxford University, and the University of Sussex).

Another UK-founded portfolio company, Peptone, is already collaborating with NVIDIA to develop an AI to predict the shape of disordered proteins – a class of biology that has remained invisible to traditional experimental techniques. By focusing on deep scientific breakthroughs with real-world applications, Hoxton has cemented its role as a go-to partner for the UK’s most promising entrepreneurs.

While in private Beta, Titan processed over $1.5B in spot trading volume and is also now introducing Titan Prime API, Solana‘s most performant on-chain trading API to power platforms and traders across the entirety of Solana. 

TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2025 — Titan, Solana‘s premier meta-dex aggregator, today announced the completion of a $7 million seed round led by Galaxy Ventures. With participation from Frictionless, Mirana, Ergonia, Auros, Susquehanna, and world-class angels, this raise accelerates Titan’s work of building a comprehensive gateway to internet capital markets — designed for traders seeking improved execution on Solana.

Solana traders face fragmented liquidity and a growing number of aggregators, making it difficult to consistently find the best price. Titan solves this by consolidating all major aggregators and routers into one platform, properly comparing quotes, and providing full transparency to support consistently competitive trade execution.

After several months in private beta, where Titan processed over $1.5 billion in spot trading volume, the platform is now launching publicly to all traders. Titan leverages its proprietary advanced routing and meta-aggregation technology to consistently deliver the best swap prices across Solana liquidity sources as proven during live trading. 

Titan is officially moving out of private beta and is now live to the public at titan.exchange.

“With significant price improvements from Titan’s unique routing algorithm — built on our deep understanding of market structure — and the fastest quote updates, Solana traders can gain the edge to consistently outperform. We’re excited to work hand in hand with traders and partners as we build the future of internet capital markets,” said Chris Chung, CEO of Titan.”At Galaxy Ventures, we look for teams working to build foundational infrastructure with long-term impact. We see Titan is doing exactly that. We believe they are creating the most advanced gateway to internet capital markets on Solana and their launch represents a major step forward for both traders and the broader DeFi ecosystem, and we’re thrilled to be part of this journey,” said Will Nuelle, General Partner of Galaxy Ventures.

In addition, Titan is introducing Titan Prime API, a meta-aggregator API that compares quotes from leading Solana routers, including Titan’s proprietary algorithm Argos, which outperforms competitors in 70–75% of cases. Powered by advanced simulation infrastructure, Titan Prime API handles the heavy lifting of router quote comparisons — a process that is both technically difficult and resource-intensive. Designed to power both platforms and traders across the ecosystem, Titan Prime API will roll out in phases and is now open for public waitlist requests.

Backed by renowned physicians, researchers, and leading tech VCs, MoldCo created an easy, affordable system for anyone to access Mold Toxicity treatment, in service of a healthier America.

BOSTON, Sept. 18, 2025 — MoldCo, the first clinician-led digital health platform standardizing mold detox as routine preventative care, today announces $8M in seed funding, co-led by Cantos and Collaborative Fund, bringing the company’s total funding to $11M. The new capital will support the expansion of MoldCo’s virtual clinic and advance its mission to address the widespread yet underdiagnosed health crisis of Mold Toxicity. MoldCo is making expert-led care for mold-related illness more affordable, accessible, and outcomes-driven for patients nationwide.

The Invisible Health Crisis Hiding in Half of U.S. Homes

Most physicians do not screen for or treat mold-related illness, despite more than 50% of U.S. households showing signs of mold, water damage, or dampness. As a result, public awareness remains low, widening a gap in care that leaves millions of patients across the country in the dark without a diagnosis or clear path to healing. People who suffer from mold exposure often spend years—and thousands of dollars—searching for explanations and cycling through specialists and misdiagnoses, when a simple screening for Mold Toxicity could have provided them with clarity.

Even when physicians identify mold as the cause, treatment is often prohibitively expensive or difficult to access. Many experience serious long-term symptoms, including Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), a debilitating condition triggered by mold exposure and frequently mistaken for chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or anxiety.

A Scalable Solution for Mold Toxicity Care

 Instead of enduring debilitating symptoms and waiting months to see a specialist, patients can immediately access expert, evidence-based Mold Toxicity care through MoldCo’s telehealth platform. Treatment averages just $150–$300 per month, far less than fragmented alternatives, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars and are often ineffective due to limited clinical expertise.

“My own journey through the confusing and often dismissive landscape of conventional medicine while battling mold illness was frustrating and isolating,” said Ariana Thacker, MoldCo founder and CEO. “It revealed a critical gap: individuals are suffering because the specialized knowledge needed to recognize and effectively treat these conditions is widely unavailable. MoldCo was born from that experience. By combining specialized clinical expertise with telehealth accessibility, we’re making evidence-based care available to everyone who needs it as quickly as possible, at a fraction of the current cost.”

“The profound impact of environmental factors, like those found in water-damaged buildings, on human health and the immune system has been documented for decades,” stated Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, a leading physician and foundational researcher in biotoxin illness and CIRS. “The days of simply living with mold & biotoxin-related illness have been replaced by peer-reviewed treatment protocols, developed from nearly 30 years of research and evidence-based care, and now being made accessible through MoldCo.”

How it Works

Through MoldCo’s telehealth platform, patients can gain clarity on their symptoms, access virtual care, and receive treatments delivered to their home in three simple steps. This streamlined, comprehensive approach directly addresses the accessibility barriers inherent in treating Mold Toxicity, providing patients with:

• On-Demand Expert Care: Direct access to MoldCo’s rigorously vetted, certified specialists in Mold Toxicity, eliminating geographic constraints and long wait times.
• Advanced Lab Testing: Specialized biomarker testing from just $99, along with respective educational content.
• Evidence-Based Treatments: Access to prescription-strength binders, targeted peptides, and specific compounded therapies, shipped directly to the patient.
• Integrated Care Navigation: Continuous 24/7 support via dedicated care navigators through MoldCo’s platform, guiding patients through medical protocol and tracking progress seamlessly.

Investor Confidence in a Category-Defining Company

“The sheer scale of the Mold Toxicity crisis, hidden within the walls of our homes and workplaces and deeply impacting human health, represents exactly the kind of systemic, science-driven challenge Cantos exists to address,” stated Amee Kapadia, Partner at Cantos. “Patients have been left navigating a confusing, expensive, and often invalidating system for far too long. MoldCo is not just providing a service; they are building the essential infrastructure for accessible diagnosis and treatment, leveraging technology to bring scientifically validated protocols and expert care directly to those who have been profoundly overlooked. We are convinced they will lead the way in resolving this widespread health challenge.”

Andrew Montgomery, Partner at Collaborative Fund, commented, “We invest in companies creating a fundamentally better future, and MoldCo directly addresses the critical nexus of our living environments and our long-term health. Their intelligent, telehealth-first approach is precisely what’s needed to democratize access to this specialized care and empower individuals to break cycles of chronic illness linked to mold exposure. We’re proud to support their mission.”

What’s Next for MoldCo

In the next year, MoldCo will expand its specialized clinician network across the U.S., further develop its proprietary care technology, scale patient onboarding and support operations, and invest in clinical research collaborations as it continues to increase public and physician awareness of Mold Toxicity. The company aims to standardize mold detox as a crucial part of routine care, making it as common as a physical or dental exam and setting a new standard for the next wave of preventative health.

MoldCo is already offering advanced lab testing in 46 states and providing care in select states, including Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas. MoldCo will be available to patients nationwide by 2026.
