Citrine Informatics (class of 2017) has raised a total of $8 million from Tencent Holdings and B&C Holdings to expand its efforts to develop software to accelerate materials research.

Being named to C&EN’s 10 Start-Ups to Watch list provided Provivi an early platform to share our vision of safer and more sustainable crop protection with the world. This recognition resonated with investors and top talent alike.
