About

Adept Materials was founded to enhance building sustainability and comfort, since buildings account for roughly 40% of U.S. primary energy use. Inspired by biology and physics, its technology mimics a leaf's capillary structure and a "vapor diode" mechanism to regulate temperature and moisture in building envelopes. Founded in July 2018 as "Techstyle Materials, Inc." by Brown University physicist Dr. Derek Stein, the Somerville, Massachusetts startup is now commercializing its first product, Lilypad, a moisture-control paint and primer system.

Summary

Adept materials is an Advanced Materials company based in San Francisco, United States, founded in 2018. It has raised $4.0M in total across 1 round, most recently a $4.0M Seed round in Aug 2024. Investors include DR Horton and PulteGroup.
