Zymo Chem is at the forefront of science for a fossil-free future. We accelerate the transition to a real-zero economy by developing bio-based materials for everyday products. Our platform is powered by proprietary carbon-conserving (C2) microbes that convert renewable feed stocks into high-value materials while radically minimizing CO2 loss during production.

Zymo Chem recently closed a $21 million Series A funding round to support the launch of our first high-performance material and to advance our first partnered product to commercial scale. This funding, from top domestic & international venture capital firms, is complemented by revenues from commercial partnerships with leading companies and government grants, including a $4MM grant from the Department of Energy in 2023.
