“Aprisium’s journey began with the world-class research from A*STAR, and the Singapore Deep-Tech Alliance effectively bridged this innovation with commercial expertise. The early backing from Cocoon Capital was instrumental in achieving product-market fit. With this Series A funding, Aprisium is poised to expand globally and lead the market in real-time contaminant detection, driving significant environmental benefits for industries worldwide,” Nicolas Tabardel from Deep-Tech Venture Partners said.
“Aprisium has achieved stellar performance at a remarkable pace since Cocoon Capital’s seed investment. The products and technologies developed by Aprisium will have positive real-world impact and will also enable many critical verticals globally,” said Carol Cheung from Cocoon Capital.
Aprisium was founded by serial entrepreneurs Raghav Narayan and Dr. Lars-Henrik Skjolding during the 2022 cohort of the Singapore Deep-Tech Alliance venture-building programme as a spinoff from the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR).
The company offers on-site, real-time testing capabilities, enabling continuous and accurate detection of a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals, inorganic compounds, and organic chemicals like PFAS. Aprisium can rapidly profile virtually any novel contaminant in the target medium, including fuels and engineered fluids.
