Aropha Raises $1M in Seed Funding to Revolutionize Biodegradable Material Testing with AI and Lab Automation
Aropha, a leading laboratory focused on advancing biodegradable material discovery and testing through lab automation and AI predictive modeling, announced that it has raised $1 million in a Series Seed funding round. The round was led by Comeback Capital, with participation from Lightbank and Right Side Capital Management (RSCM).
Aropha works directly with companies to provide rapid biodegradation testing and implement AI screening into their product development processes. The funding will be used to expand Aropha’s current laboratory operations, increase industry awareness, and fund the development of its biodegradation prediction model, ArophaAI.
To date, Aropha has helped more than 80 customers with their biodegradation testing through both in-lab and in-silico testing. Year-over-year booked revenue at the end of Q4 saw 190% growth. The company also recently published a free version of its predictive model, ArophaAI-2.
