Introducing Magrathea: Revolutionizing Metal Manufacturing for a Sustainable Future. With $10 million in seed funding and visionary founder Alex Grant at the helm, Magrathea is poised to transform the metal manufacturing industry. By providing metal without the need for mining, they are drastically reducing socioenvironmental impacts. Their innovative approach utilizes brine as an abundant resource, making their metal production process environmentally friendly. Magrathea's metal is the lightest structural option available, weighing three to five times less than steel and 1.5 times less than aluminum. Backed by investors such as Valor Equity Partners, EQT Foundation, Exor Ventures, and VoLo Earth Ventures.
Magrathea is committed to circularity and sequestering carbon in the sea, making their metal inherently sustainable. With generational upgrades to magnesium production technology, they are revolutionizing cost efficiency and environmental impact reduction. Magrathea's groundbreaking achievements include producing the 21st century's first metal ingots from seawater. This startup's strengths lie in magnesium's versatility, fast casting and machining capabilities, recyclability, and its benign nature to human health and ecosystems. Magrathea is leading the way toward a future of electrification and decarbonization with metal manufacturing that is both environmentally responsible and technologically advanced.
