Pre-Seed Angel Investment Opportunity – Climate Deep-Tech (Afterpoly)

Afterpoly is raising a $300K pre-seed round, anchored by a $50K lead angel investment to accelerate pilot-scale validation and early commercial deployment of biodegradable plastic alternatives. We are building a new class of engineered biomaterials designed to replicate the functional performance of conventional plastics during use mechanical strength, flexibility, and barrier properties while enabling controlled biodegradation after disposal under real-world environmental conditions. Unlike conventional bioplastics that require new infrastructure, Afterpoly materials are designed for drop-in compatibility with existing manufacturing systems, including extrusion, injection molding, and thermoforming processes. This allows brands to transition without capital-intensive retooling or operational disruption. Current stage and traction • Pilot-ready formulations with validated working prototypes across multiple material configurations • Active engagement with early-stage partners in cosmetics, personal care, and packaging use-cases • Iterative lab-to-pilot development cycle underway, focused on optimizing cost-performance balance • Initial benchmarking against conventional LDPE/PP packaging performance parameters Use of funds The current round will be used to: • Expand pilot-scale production and batch consistency testing • Strengthen material formulation and process optimization • Run application-specific validation with brand partners • Build early supply chain and manufacturing partnerships We are seeking investors who understand that the next major shift in packaging will come from material science not just recycling or substitution and who are aligned with deep-tech infrastructure transformation in sustainability. We are currently in active conversations and closing the first tranche with select strategic partners. Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
