Athletico Ventures

Less than 1% of the global textile market currently comes from recycled fibers, as traditional methods are unable to separate the original raw materials from blended textile waste. Marco Bertone and Louis Monsigny are using green chemistry to close the loop on synthetic textiles, starting with nylon. Thrilled to participate in Syntetica’s €4.2m seed round alongside EQT Ventures and top tier angels (Better Angle, Bear Flag Capital, Pareto Ventures, Patrice Lafargue Lionel Mora, Nicolas Morin-Forest, and more).

The news is finally out ☀ ☀ ☀ Very excited to participate in Samara’s Series A alongside Green Generation Fund, Move Energy , Ring Capital, Pelion Venture Partners and Seaya.
