Cambridge Uni graphene spin-out Paragraf gets $3.9M

Paragraf Closes £2.9M Seed Funding

Paragraf, a Cambridge University graphene spin-out, has secured £2.9 million (~$3.9 million) in seed funding led by Cambridge Enterprise, with participation from Parkwalk Advisors, Amadeus Capital Partners, IQ Capital Partners, and angel investors. Paragraf claims to have developed a novel approach to manufacturing graphene that overcomes issues like poor uniformity, reproducibility, and limited size. The company aims to utilize graphene for various applications, including transistors, sensors, and energy generation devices.

Paragraf Raises $3.9 Million to Advance Graphene Technology

Paragraf is a Cambridge University graphene spin-out that has developed a novel (and patent-protected) approach to manufacturing graphene for commercial use-cases. The company claims its technique overcomes a raft of problems that have stymied graphene developments to date, such as poor uniformity, reproducibility, limited size, and material contamination. The company's wider focus is on producing atom-layer thick 2D materials – with graphene their starting points – for the development of a new generation of electronic devices. Their early claims for the nanomaterial included suggestions that it could enable a new generation of flexible, transparent electronics.  Paragraf was founded in 2015 and is based in Cambridge, UK.
