About Event

⛰️ Join us for a conversation with Hitesh Manglani, CEO & Founder of Supercarb, Pachamama Ventures' newest portfolio company. 🪸

Performance textiles have long relied on chemical finishes — silver, phosphorus, PFAS — to deliver flame resistance, anti-microbial protection, and moisture-wicking. These treatments are costly, increasingly regulated, and lose most of their effectiveness within 10–30 wash cycles. Supercarb is taking a different approach: a plastic-free performance fiber made from seaweed and agricultural waste that builds these properties directly into the material itself.

In this session, Hitesh will share:

The technical breakthrough behind Supercarb's biopolymer fiber and how it's validated through third-party testing
How the company is building enterprise relationships with brands like Lululemon, Stella McCartney, Gerber, and Target
The path from pilot-scale production to commercial manufacturing at scale
Lessons from scaling novel fiber technology as a first-time deep tech founder

Whether you're an investor, operator, or simply curious about the future of sustainable materials, this is a chance to hear directly from the founder building it.

Reserve your spot. The performance textiles market is changing, and it should be on your radar.

Cheers,
Karen Sheffield
Founder & Managing Partner at Pachamama Ventur es
