Traditional forms of scale-up can be inefficient, cost-prohibitive, and exist on timelines detrimental to the success of many ventures. Our founding team experienced this first-hand, so they worked with the ecosystem to create an all-in-one infrastructure and support solution targeted to the specific needs of chemistry ventures.
