The technology is so non-toxic that she famously eats it during presentations.Listen to learn how this deep-tech solution, based on NASA tech but 75% cheaper than existing aerogels, is targeting the $34 billion cold chain market before disrupting building insulation, and why it represents a massive opportunity for early-stage investors.Learn more about SEIS tax reliefs.
