Why We Invested in Bioeutectics: The Future of Sustainable Solvents
Rethinking an Industry Built on Toxic Chemicals
For decades, industrial solvents have been a necessary evil—powering everything from cosmetics and food processing to agriculture and chemicals but at a serious cost. Traditional solvents are often:
· Toxic, posing health risks for workers and consumers.
· Environmentally harmful, contributing to pollution and hazardous waste.
· Regulatory liabilities, as governments tighten restrictions on chemical usage.
With consumer demand for sustainability rising and governments pushing for greener alternatives, industries are desperate for safer, high-performance solvent solutions.

This is where Bioeutectics is breaking new ground.
By leveraging Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES)—a class of biodegradable, non-toxic solvents inspired by nature—Bioeutectics is rewriting the future of industrial chemistry. Their proprietary AI-driven platform allows for customized, scalable solvent formulations that provide the same benefits as traditional chemicals—without the toxicity.
This isn’t just an incremental improvement—it’s a paradigm shift in how solvents are made and used.
When we saw Bioeutectics’ traction, market opportunity, and the caliber of its science-driven team, it was clear: this is a company poised to transform a $49.9B industry.
Why We Invested
1. Pioneering a Sustainable Alternative to Chemical Solvents
Industrial solvents are one of the most overlooked sources of pollution and health risks in modern manufacturing.
Bioeutectics solves this problem at the source by developing a new class of natural solvents that:
· Eliminate toxic chemicals, reducing exposure risks for workers and consumers.
· Are 100% biodegradable, minimizing environmental damage.
· Improve efficiency, performing as well as—or better than—traditional solvents.
Unlike so-called “green” competitors that still generate toxic waste, Bioeutectics’ NADES-based approach is a true breakthrough—a completely sustainable alternative built from natural, plant-based materials.
This is more than an innovation—it’s a foundational shift in chemistry that aligns with where the world is headed.
2. A Massive Market Ready for Disruption
The global solvent market is worth $49.9B, with Bioeutectics’ focus industries (cosmetics, food, agriculture, and chemicals) representing a $21.7B addressable market.
Why now?
· Regulatory pressure is accelerating change. Europe, the U.S., and China are tightening restrictions on toxic solvents—pushing industries to find safer solutions.
· Consumer demand for sustainability is at an all-time high. Companies are racing to make their supply chains cleaner.
· Large corporations are actively seeking greener alternatives.
Bioeutectics isn’t just entering this market—they’re shaping its future.
And industry leaders have noticed.
With early partnerships with global cosmetics and consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands, Bioeutectics is already on the radar of global brands looking for next-generation green chemistry solutions.
3. A True Technological Edge with Early Traction
Most “green” solvent solutions still come with trade-offs—waste, inefficiencies, or limited applications.
Bioeutectics eliminates these challenges with an AI-powered platform that allows companies to:
· Predict & customize solvent formulations with 92% accuracy, optimizing for specific use cases.
· Reduce trial-and-error development cycles, making adoption faster and more cost-effective.
· Scale production seamlessly, ensuring that Bioeutectics’ solutions work across industries.
This combination of sustainability + AI-powered precision gives Bioeutectics a unique and defensible market position.
And the company already has traction with major corporations that develop and use solvents in a variety of different applications.
4. A World-Class, Science-Driven Team
Deep science startups require visionary leadership and technical expertise—and Bioeutectics has both:
· Co-founders Federico Gomez and Fernanda Silva are leading researchers in NADES, with years of experience at Argentina’s National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET)—one of the world’s top research institutions.
· CEO Tomas Silicaro brings strong business and supply chain expertise, with a track record of scaling operations in the food and chemical industries.
This is a team that understands both the science and the business, giving Bioeutectics the strategic edge needed to dominate this space.
Looking Ahead
At the intersection of sustainability, green chemistry, and AI-driven material science, Bioeutectics represents one of the most exciting opportunities we’ve seen in industrial innovation.
· A proprietary, next-generation solvent platform.
· A massive, regulation-influenced and consumer-driven market opportunity.
· A first-mover advantage with strong IP protection.
But beyond the technology and market size, what excites us most is Bioeutectics’ impact.
This is not just about better solvents—it’s about fundamentally reshaping how industries approach chemistry, sustainability, and production efficiency.
We’re proud to support Bioeutectics’ vision and look forward to seeing them build a greener, safer future.
