# CuspAI

Materials AI · Cambridge · Seed

CuspAI uses generative AI to design novel materials, letting users specify the properties they want and generating candidate chemical compositions to match, compressing discovery timelines from years to months. Its initial focus is materials for carbon capture, with applications also spanning semiconductors and water purification. The company works with industrial partners including Hyundai, Meta, and Kemira, and its advisory board includes AI figures such as Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun. Founded in 2024, it raised a $30 million seed round led by Hoxton Ventures and a subsequent $100 million Series A, totaling around $130 million.
