You're In Business

Colipi is a legitimate deep-tech biotech startup focused on carbon capture and sustainable oils, showing high real-world utility and technical innovation. However, the submission quality is poor, containing verifiable inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' for a B2B pilot-stage technology and listing 'marketcap' in the revenue field). The reported team size of 125 contradicts the implied valuation/funding level and typical size for this stage (likely ~15-20 employees). The score reflects the high potential of the technology penalized by the unverified and exaggerated claims in the submission.

Description
At COLIPI, we are dedicated to Fermenting Renewable Carbon For Generational Life Quality. Our patented technology transforms carbon dioxide or by-products containing sugars or organic acids or alcohols into our signature product, Climate Oil, an eco-friendly alternative to traditional vegetable oils. These triacylglycerols serve as the sustainable foundation for high-quality consumer products in cosmetic, home care & laundry and other industries. By utilizing our carbon-light Climate Oils, business partners can achieve their corporate Net Zero Goals by significantly reducing GHG scope 3 emissions. Climate Oil has a predominant composition of palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1), and linoleic acid (C18:2), which can be tailored to meet specific industry requirements. Beyond that we are working on expanding our product portfolio to other molecule chain lengths, too.
