- Lux Ice: Launched in 2020, the Langhorne-based startup is looking to disrupt the ice industry by creating and selling slow melting, ionically filtered ice spheres for cocktails and other drinks. Focused on consumers amid the pandemic, Lux Ice is now shifting its focus to the food and stadium industries. The company raised over $2 million in a Series A last year and has brought on Frito-Lay alums to its executive team. In the first quarter, Lux Ice is opening a new facility in Dallas which it expects will lead to growth by a factor of 40.
- Carbon Reform: Founded by two University of Delaware alums, Carbon Reform is looking to improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions from buildings. Based in Wilmington, the firm raised a $3 million seed round in November, the same month its founders were named to the annual Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Founded in 2020, Carbon Reform is looking to democratize carbon capture by creating a device that can be integrated into existing HVAC systems.
