Dispersa, a Canadian cleantech startup revolutionizing the chemical industry, has successfully raised $5.8 million CAD in seed funding.
The investment, led by Nàdarra Ventures, includes support from several Canadian investors, such as BDC Thrive Lab, Cycle Momentum, The51 Food & AgTech Fund, and Fonds d'investissement Eurêka, through Hidden Layers Capital.
Returning investors Good & Well, Dragonfly Ventures, BoxOne Ventures, and Front Row Ventures also reaffirmed their commitment to Dispersa’s mission.
Founded in 2019, Dispersa is powering the commercialization of waste-derived biosurfactants, helping reduce reliance on palm oil and fossil fuel-based chemicals.
As the first company to establish biosurfactant manufacturing in Canada, Dispersa is making sustainable chemistry both affordable and accessible.
Surfactants—key ingredients in everything from household cleaners to cosmetics—are predominantly derived from petroleum or palm oil.
Dispersa is changing that with BioEterna®, its proprietary waste-derived biosurfactant technology that uses waste oils and sugars to create high-performing, cost-effective alternatives.
Dispersa’s flagship product, PuraSurf® M, is the world’s first biosurfactant made entirely from waste. This enables manufacturers to reduce environmental impact without compromising performance, making it a game-changer for industries under pressure to adopt greener solutions.
