ExoMatter operates the Materials R&D Platform, a SaaS tool that draws on data from scientific sources to generate personalized shortlists of suitable inorganic materials for user applications, applying multidimensional criteria for physical, chemical, engineering properties, sustainability, and cost. The platform uses AI to enrich data, perform screening, simulation, and ranking of millions of material candidates via data mining, machine learning, and proprietary quantum mechanical calculations. It targets R&D teams in industrial sectors including manufacturing. The company was co-founded in 2022 as a spin-off from the German Aerospace Center by Josua Vieten (CEO, PhD in chemistry) and Barbara Bachus (COO, experience scaling a prior startup), with CTO Jeffrey Davis and a team of over 20. ExoMatter raised €1.7 million in pre-seed funding in 2024 led by Vanagon Ventures and ZAKA VC, with BayernKapital and other participants. It is headquartered in Munich, Germany.
