LONDON - Oct. 11, 2023 - PRLog -- BioTwin, a pioneering startup dedicated to advancing sustainable construction materials, has achieved a significant milestone with £175,000 in pre-seed investment funding. This generous support comes from SFC Capital, a renowned early-stage investment firm, and Stephen Goldenberg, an angel investor and serial entrepreneur.

SFC Capital, recognised as the UK's foremost early-stage investment firm, boasts a rich history of nurturing innovation among British startups since 2012. Their extensive experience and unwavering dedication to partnering with entrepreneurs, guiding them from initial SEIS funding rounds through to successful exits, make them an ideal collaborator for BioTwin's mission.

BioTwin's focal point is a revolutionary biocomposite wall stud crafted from hemp shiv, representing a groundbreaking advancement in sustainable construction materials. This innovation aims to supplant traditional light gauge steel wall studs in buildings, providing developers and contractors with greener, more environmentally responsible credentials.

The £175,000 funding injection will turbocharge BioTwin's ongoing efforts to perfect their carbon-neutral building material and expedite its journey to market.

Kit specialises in scaling businesses, marketing, and securing sales, while Matt's expertise spans design, construction, manufacturing and materials. Together, they lead a dedicated team with over two decades of collective business experience, including successfully scaling and exiting previous ventures.

With the construction materials industry responsible for 11% of global CO2 emissions, BioTwin's innovative materials have the potential to transform the sector, paving the way for a zero-carbon footprint in every building and structure worldwide. The company invites partners, stakeholders, and supporters to join them on this mission.
