InventWood Private Investor Briefing - NYC
InventWood Private Investor Briefing - NYC
by CONNECTpreneur Investor Network
THURSDAY, February 26, 5:30 pm EST
Opus8 is hosting a small, invitation-only virtual private investor briefing featuring InventWood, a materials company commercializing SUPERWOOD™, a category-defining biomaterial that delivers the strength of steel with the soul of wood.
This closed-door session will provide direct access to InventWood’s leadership team and a focused discussion of the company’s proprietary materials platform, early commercial traction, manufacturing scale-up, and near-term growth opportunities, including current financing for accredited investors.
This session is hosted by Opus8 in collaboration with the New York Private Equity Forums (NYPEF).
InventWood is entering a critical value-creation phase with automated commercial manufacturing live, customer shipments underway, and accelerating demand as steel, aluminum, and concrete face rising costs and structural constraints.
Company Overview
InventWood has commercialized SUPERWOOD™, a breakthrough structural biomaterial that is stronger than steel, significantly lighter, fire resistant, moisture resistant, and carbon sequestering. The company’s proprietary molecular re-engineering process fundamentally transforms wood by eliminating defects and dramatically increasing intrinsic strength and durability.
InventWood is entering the market through premium architectural and exterior building applications while building toward expansion into large structural and infrastructure markets under existing mass-timber codes.
What Differentiates InventWood
• Category-Defining Material — Steel-level strength with wood’s weight, aesthetics, and fire resistance
• Proprietary Platform — Molecular re-engineering that upgrades wood’s intrinsic performance
• Commercialization Underway — Automated SUPERMILL operational with shipments in market
• Defensible IP Position — 140+ issued and pending patents
• Capital-Efficient Scale-Up — Premium early markets fund broader structural expansion
• Large Market Pull — $750B+ addressable markets across construction and infrastructure
