Anaïs Ventures Co-Leads Series A Investment in Bloom Biorenewables

Anaïs Ventures is pleased to announce its participation as co-lead investor in the CHF 13 million Series A funding round of Bloom Biorenewables, a Swiss-based company developing innovative technologies for sustainable material production. We co-led this milestone with Valquest Partners and attracted participation from a strong syndicate of institutional and strategic investors, including Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lombard Odier, Capital Risque Fribourg, Btomorrow Ventures, Amcor Ventures, Rosebrook, and The King Baudouin Foundation (on behalf of R&Co4Generations, the Rothschild & Co philanthropic fund).Headquartered in Marly, Switzerland, Bloom Biorenewables is pioneering the next generation of biomass utilization. Their patented Aldehyde-Assisted Fractionation (AAF) technology enables the efficient separation and stabilization of lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose — unlocking new possibilities for the production of bio-based chemicals and materials. Developed at the Laboratory of Sustainable and Catalytic Processing (LPDC) at EPFL, AAF represents a major technological advancement in the field of renewable carbon utilization.The funding will allow Bloom to scale its AAF process, develop first-of-a-kind (FOAK) commercial-scale units, and accelerate its go-to-market strategy. This is a critical step toward Bloom’s mission to offer viable alternatives to fossil-based materials and contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable industrial landscape.As the climate crisis intensifies, Bloom’s work is a compelling example of how advanced chemical processes can help decarbonize essential sectors of the economy. At Anaïs Ventures, we are committed to backing pioneering companies with the vision and science to make this transition possible.We look forward to supporting Bloom Biorenewables as they enter this next phase of growth and innovation.
