Avadain has developed an environmentally-friendly process to mass-produce large, thin and nearly defect-free graphene flakes. Graphene is widely touted as the material of the 21st Century. It is believed to be the strongest and thinnest thermal and electricity-conducting material in the world.1 Graphene is expected to revolutionize electric vehicles, supercapacitors, batteries, sensors, renewable energy, and medicine, among other industries. Virtually no other companies are currently focused on manufacturing industrial quantities of high-quality graphene flakes.
Brad Larschan, CEO of Avadain, commented, “Avadain was founded with the mission of unleashing the ‘Graphene Revolution’ by delivering industrial volumes of our green, high-quality graphene flakes at an affordable price to address rapidly growing market demand. We are grateful to Netcapital for bringing our investment story and mission to thousands of prospective investors. The funds we raised through the Netcapital funding portal will help us expand our global patent portfolio, produce samples which industry has been asking for, and fund operations to meet the explosive projections for graphene demand across high-growth markets.”
