Kaio Labs develops high-performance electrolyzers that enable point-source conversion of waste carbon dioxide emissions into value-added chemicals including carbon monoxide, formic acid, and ethylene. The company provides an autonomous materials discovery platform that accelerates the development of electrocatalysts and electrolyzer systems for sustainable fuels and chemicals. This platform uses AI-driven workflows that integrate robotics, automated experimentation, and probabilistic machine learning to co-optimize catalysts, device architectures, and operational parameters. Kaio Labs was co-founded in 2024 by William Purvis (CEO, with postgraduate studies in data science and machine learning at Cambridge University, machine learning for material discovery at University of Toronto, and top-ranked chemistry at University of St Andrews) and Yash Sinha (CTO, with master's in robotics from ETH Zurich, bachelor's in aerospace engineering from TU Delft, and experience at Sauber F1 Team). The startup is headquartered in Newark, New Jersey. It has participated in HAX and SOSV accelerators, received backing from Entrepreneur First and SOSV, and raised undisclosed early-stage VC funding in 2025.
