Viridi
Drop-in catalyst technology that turns captured CO2 into ingredients for everyday products
About
Viridi (ViridiCO2) is a Southampton-based deep-tech spinout of the University of Southampton's School of Chemistry, founded in 2020. It develops a drop-in catalyst that lets manufacturers use captured CO2 as a feedstock and make existing chemicals more efficiently using existing infrastructure, starting with CO2-based surfactants for home and personal care. In 2025 it launched Vireya, its first CO2-based anionic surfactant, and it has a joint development agreement with Zschimmer & Schwarz. In November 2026 it closed a GBP 2.2 million round led by Odyssey Ventures with Alphatron Impact Ventures and existing angels, with Thaioil's corporate VC arm TOP Ventures joining as a strategic investor, to support expansion into Asia and the US.
