Company data (HQ, sector, founding year) comes from each startup’s own record. Funding figures are cross-referenced from the deals tracker’s most recent verified round for that company – not a lifetime-total field, since that field is not yet consistently populated across startup records.
This table shows the two companies with fresh, cross-referenced 2026 rounds. 136 companies carry the advanced materials and composites tag in total. Notable companies elsewhere in the directory, not yet cross-referenced: PanTera and Catalyxx (both with rounds above €30M), Faircraft (Series A, biotech-adjacent materials) and Vulkam (amorphous metals, backed by Supernova Invest).
Common questions
Does 'raised' mean total lifetime funding?
No – it shows the most recent verified round for each company. A lifetime-total field is in progress but not yet reliable across all startup records.
Why are only 2 companies shown out of 136 tagged?
These are the companies with a fresh 2026 round cross-referenced to HQ and sector. Larger historical rounds – PanTera, Catalyxx, Faircraft, Vulkam – are verified on Sesamers but not yet cross-referenced into this table.
Does Sesamers take payment for placement on this list?
No. Every company shown is included because it is a verified advanced materials startup, not because it paid for coverage.
