Mitra Chem

Mitra Chem is an AI-native critical materials scale-up platform building the infrastructure to accelerate and derisk the production of advanced battery and specialty materials for energy storage, AI compute, and defense applications. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, the company operates a shared pilot foundry instrumented with AI — combining ML models, physics-based digital twins, and compounding process knowledge — to dramatically compress scale-up cost and timelines for materials that have historically been bottlenecked by lengthy, expensive pilot-to-production transitions. Mitra Chem's initial focus is lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode materials, where it has partnered with Sun Chemical to develop the first U.S. mass production facility for iron phosphate co-located with LFP manufacturing. The company has raised over $50M and counts General Motors among its strategic backers.
