LivingFilters Raises €420K Pre-Seed Round for AI-Designed Proteins to Remove PFAS from European Water
Summary
LivingFilters, a Lund University spinout, has raised €420K (SEK 4.6 million) in a pre-seed round led by Turbine Capital to develop AI-designed protein binders that selectively detect and remove environmental contaminants from water, including PFAS, pharmaceutical residues, and micropollutants. The funding will support a pilot project and the development of two initial products: biosensor probes for rapid detection and selective filter components for water treatment plants. The company's approach aims to overcome limitations of current activated carbon and ion exchange methods for water purification.
