The world’s dependence on plastics—from packaging and textiles to electronics—is driving growing concern over microplastics, toxic residues and unrecyclable waste. At Synboli, the mission is bold: to bring to market entirely new polymers that retain utility while being safe, biodegradable and clean for the planet.
What Synboli is building
Synboli’s platform merges artificial intelligence with advanced synthesis chemistry to reshape how materials are created. Their AI analyses billions of molecular structures; their patented synthesis technologies bring the most promising polymers to life in record time.
The result: materials designed for applications such as compostable cosmetics, more sustainable EV‑battery components, and lightweight construction polymers—all with drastically lower environmental footprint.
Why this funding round matters
Synboli just closed a €3.5 million seed round, led by Wind Capital and Aquiti. French Tech Bordeaux+2Bordeaux Finance+2 This investment will help them open a state‑of‑the‑art laboratory in Bordeaux and scale up R&D. Echos Judiciaires+1
Synboli is a spin‑out from the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and the Université de Bordeaux, supported by regional ecosystem partners in Nouvelle‑Aquitaine. French Tech Bordeaux
Why we invested
At Wind, we back deeptech that delivers industrial scale and planetary impact. Synboli stood out because:
- They combine proven science (AI + synthetic chemistry) with an industrial‑ready roadmap.
- Their materials address huge markets—from cosmetics to construction to electronics—while embedding sustainability.
- Their location and backing show they’re anchored in Europe’s innovation ecosystem.
- They target transformation at the materials layer—a high‑leverage point for change.
What’s next
With this funding, Synboli will:
- Launch their Bordeaux lab and expand R&D operations.
- Build out their polymer database and begin delivering tailor‑made high‑performance materials.
- Collaborate with industrial partners across sectors to bring these next‑gen materials into real‑world production.
In summary
Synboli isn’t just designing new plastics—it’s creating the building blocks for a safer, more sustainable industrial future. Congratulations to founders Mathieu Pucheault and Vincent Simonet and the entire team for turning cutting‑edge science into transformational material solutions.
