Entalpic

Announcing Entalpic’s 8.5m€ seed round co-lead by Breega, Cathay Innovation and Felicis A few months ago, Mathieu Galtier (CEO), Victor Schmidt (CTO) and Alexandre Duval (CSO) launched Entalpic after several years building the technology within academia. To get to the next step of actual CO2 emission removal, we have launched a for-profit company intending to build an AI powerhouse for materials discovery. We are targeting industrial processes with large CO2 emissions and believe that we can contribute to the emergence of greener and cheaper alternatives. Electrocatalysis is our first focus. Our ambition is massive: generative AI will drive a new wave of discoveries in materials science and chemistry. But bringing the output of these combined technologies to market will be hard and we intend to be the best of both worlds. We are an “ML for science” company. We believe in the transformative power of technology and science, and our ambition is to make a positive difference in the climate crisis. Many thanks to Maximilien Bacot from Breega, Jacky Abitbol from Cathay Innovation and Gabriella G. from Felicis for their trust and support. This funding will help us: - Build a world-class team of ML engineers and materials scientists. - Run physical experiments (outsourced) to generate rich datasets. - Train large ML models to generate relevant catalyst candidates. If you want to know more about us, check our website at https://entalpic.ai/ It is just the beginning, but we could not have reached this step without the invaluable help of friends, colleagues, and institutions that have made us who we are today. It is time for public and heartfelt thanks: - To our advisors who have been challenging our ideas Yoshua Bengio, Thomas Wolf, Michal Valko, Xavier Bresson, Jean-Louis Quéguiner, Arnaud Robert, Jörg Weiser, Clémence Bellanger, Henri Delahaye,Théau Peronnin, Camille Marini, and Gilles Wainrib - To the institutions that have trained and educated us: Mines Paris - PSL, CentraleSupélec, École Polytechnique, Ecole normale supérieure, University of Warwick, Inria, UCL and Universite de Montreal. - To Owkin and its co-founders Thomas Clozel and Gilles Wainrib, which our CEO helped grow from tiny startup to AI unicorn, and which gave back so much to us in the form of learnings and friends. - To Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute and 21st by CentraleSupélec who are accompanying us in the first steps of our journey With this funding, we feel emboldened that our vision is possible. Let’s get to work!

🚨 Entalpic has been selected among the 10 most impactful #climate startup of STATION F !!! 🚨 There is strong hope that AI-driven materials discovery for sustainable industries will move the needle on the carbon emissions. ⚛️ 🌿 🧪 Let's stay humble, we know it is just the beginning of our journey, but we are honored to be featured with other promising startups Genomines, Aerleum, Woodoo, Rubicon, Faircraft, CarbonFarm, Geosophy, Syntetica, and KUMULUS - By eeKan . Congrats to all, and let's get to work 🏃♀️
