AeroShield Materials

Happy birthday to AeroShield! This year for founding day, AeroShield celebrated five years since we officially incorporated by reflecting on our mission and vision, celebrating our growth, and having some fun with the entire team. This has been a year with some of AeroShield's biggest milestones yet: opening our pilot manufacturing facility, winning a $14.5M ARPA-E award, and creating the best-looking aerogel-insulated windows ever made (in our humble opinion). Activities in our Founding Day Fair included card games, a desk decoration station (for our new facility!), and making a timeline of some of the high and lows of AeroShield's history. Cheers to more years ahead as we decarbonize the built environment with super-insulating transparent aerogels!

Thank you to MassMutual Ventures for this wonderful write-up! Excited to be one of MassMutual Ventures' earliest investments from their new Climate Tech Fund

Thank you to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) and Yvonne Hao for being a part of AeroShield's facility opening in Waltham this week. We are excited to be scaling up the manufacture of our super-insulating, transparent materials to enable the next generation of energy-efficient windows! https://lnkd.in/e6_BuqfX

We are excited to announce today the opening of our new manufacturing facility in Waltham, Massachusetts and the close of $5M in additional funding with participation from existing investors Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and MassVentures as well as new investor MassMutual Ventures. The funding will support our scaleup by enabling us to expand our team to more than 30 employees in the 12,000 square-foot facility where we will be manufacturing full-sized products, including double pane windows.

AeroShield Materials is excited to announce today that we were selected to receive a $14.5M ARPA-E Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy technologies with Untapped Potential (SCALEUP) award! This award provides new funding to previous ARPA-E awardees that are determined to have a viable road to market. This funding will enable AeroShield to scale the manufacturing of our aerogel materials for energy efficient windows!

AeroShield is honored to receive the Great Global Innovation Challenge prize alongside our friends at MacroCycle Technologies at this year's ClimaTech Live conference in Boston. ? There’s nothing quite like the Massachusetts tech ecosystem and the inaugural ClimaTech conference was proof of that this week. Thank you Tod Hynes, Jennifer Turliuk, Alejandro Sevilla, Stephen Smith, Heather Takle, Kyle Collins, Meade Harris, Limor Spector, PhD, and of course the AI judge (!) for making this event happen. And we’re so grateful to Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, New Energy Nexus, Brian Halligan, and Propeller for sponsoring the prizes and supporting our mission of bringing the next generation of energy-efficient windows to every building in the U.S.!

???????? ???? ?????? ???????????? ???????????? ???? ????????????????????'?? ??????????-???????????????????? ?????????????? ???? ?????? ????????-?? ????????????! AeroShield will be at the #ARPAE24 Innovation Summit with prototypes of our super-insulating windows. These windows have our transparent aerogels inside, making them 50-65% more energy efficient than a double-pane window. If you're attending and are interested in building decarbonization, please reach out to Aaron Baskerville-Bridges to coordinate a meeting. And hopefully you can help us get a photo with less reflections and his eyes open!

Thank you to Built Environment Plus, Greentown Labs, Mass Save and Stephen Moore - Assoc AIA, LEED AP BDC CPHC? for inviting AeroShield to participate in this event. There are billions (with a B!) of square feet of single pane and air-filled double pane windows in the US right now. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to retrofit large buildings. AeroShield was able to talk about how new federal incentives are driving more innovation in this space; both at AeroShield (to make glazing more efficient) and at companies solving the frame and air sealing problem for secondary window systems (INOVUES, Indow, Alpen High Performance Products and more). Looking forward to continuing the conversation about how new technologies can be used to decarbonize the built environment!
