Carbonwave, previously known as C-Combinator, is a pioneer in the development of ultra-regenerative, plant-based biomaterials derived from Sargassum seaweed. Founded in January 2020, the company is dedicated to addressing regenerative agriculture, sustainable manufacturing, and scalable carbon sequestration. Their innovative approach involves transforming seaweed, previously considered waste, into biomaterials that replace derivatives from oil and other harmful industry inputs. This not only provides a sustainable alternative but also contributes to healing the planet through regeneratively sourced materials from the oceans.
Headquartered in Puerto Rico, Carbonwave focuses on the profitable collection, processing, and large-scale growth of seaweed. The company markets seaweed extracts to the agricultural industry as organic fertilizers and biostimulants, as well as plant-based leathers for fashion and interiors, and broad-spectrum emulsifiers for various applications in cosmetics and skincare products.
In January 2024, Carbonwave secured a $100.00KVenture Round investment from the Miami-Dade Innovation Authority, indicating growing interest and confidence in the company's mission and potential impact. With a strong foothold in the agriculture and biotechnology sectors, Carbonwave's strategic focus on sustainable materials and regenerative practices positions it as a promising investment opportunity for venture capital firms seeking to support environmentally conscious innovations.
