RAISING A SMALL ROUND
Commercial Contracts incoming / Still some space in the round // Serial GreenTech Entrepreneur -Founder FreyZein NextGen Textiles
Today, if you want performance in textiles, you wear oil. Over 60% of fabrics are fossil-based — and in performance wear, it's nearly 100%. At FreyZein, we built the first petrochemical-free, mono-material nano-membrane system. Windproof. Water-repellent. Breathable. Made from cellulose. We hold patents, secured €4 million in non-dilutive funding, and are running paid pilots with international brands. Our MVP is already produced at 1.5-meter width and generating first revenues. With tightening PFAS regulation and premium brands actively searching for alternatives, the timing is now. We are building the leading ingredient brand for fossil-free performance textiles - and we are scaling.
I’m Jan Anders Karlsson, Founder & CEO of FreyZein®, an Austrian material technology company developing next-generation natural performance textiles.
At FreyZein, we’re working to unlock a new category of lightweight performance apparel — enabling natural fabrics to achieve weather protection while preserving their aesthetics, comfort and character. At the core is our patent-pending, cellulose-based membrane technology.
I’m at Circular Textile Days to meet apparel brands, textile manufacturers and innovation partners interested in developing the next generation of natural performance materials.
If you’re working with natural fabrics and looking to add performance — or exploring alternatives to conventional synthetic laminates — let’s meet.
