INVESTORS

 

Promethean Particles was spun-out from the University of Nottingham in February 2008 after receiving seed-corn investment from the Lachesis Fund (managed by SPARK Venture Management, formerly Questor) and Catapult.

 

The technology at the centre of Promethean Particles, the reactor, was fully developed at the University of Nottingham, including the construction of a pilot scale facility prior to company formation and is protected by a patent application that has progressed to National / Regional phase.

 

Promethean Particles were winners of the MRC / EPSRC Cross-Discipline Bridging Business Plan Competition in June 2006.
