Hycrete
Background
Hycrete manufactures and supplies a concrete performance additive that transforms concrete into a hydrophobic, corrosion-resistant, waterproof construction material. This fundamental change in material properties addresses one of the most significant performance limitations within the large, global concrete industry. Specifically, Hycrete’s products eliminate the need for external waterproofing membrane and coating systems creating time, money and resource savings while offering a compelling value proposition to building owners, developers, and contractors.
Our Partnership
Hycrete makes an incredible advanced material that has the potential to revolutionize the Green Building industry. However, Hycrete’s innovation excites us because it facilitates a radical new business model. Instead of selling a concrete additive, Hycrete sells “dry basements” – a full service package that is also cheaper and substantially more environmentally friendly than the alternatives. RockPort has been investing in advanced materials companies for years and understands the importance of business model innovation to the successful creation of value from new materials.
"We specifically sought out and chose RockPort because first and foremost, they have a great reputation and there are a lot of smarts that go along with their reputation. They're a leader in classic cleantech. In building a company, it is all about energy and we always connect with people with a positive and high energy; that energy is culturally embedded throughout RockPort’s organization. Added to this, RockPort is very responsive to the CEO." (David Rosenberg, founder, Hycrete)
