Rubi has announced a $7.5 million funding round and significant commercial traction, including multi-year offtake term sheets worth over $60M with leading fashion brands and manufacturers, eight new commercial partnerships, and moving pilots into larger-scale production testing.

Co-led by AP Ventures and FH One Investments, with participation from Talis Capital, CMPC Ventures, H&M Group, Understorey Ventures, and angel investors, the funding will scale Rubi's production system to industrial demonstration, accelerate the commercialization of additional pipeline products, and advance its engineered enzymes for enhanced performance and cost reduction.

The company's proprietary enzyme platform enables the production of critical chemicals and materials from CO2, unlocking modular production that can be on-shored anywhere. Founded in 2021 by Neeka Mashouf and Dr. Leila Mashouf, Rubi is creating a manufacturing system that works in harmony with the planet while strengthening industrial competitiveness.
