Company registered at Companies House
Poro Technologies develops porous GaN technology designed to enhance LED lighting.
Porotech has six FTEs and two PTEs. In November 2019 it closed a GBP1,500,000 seed round investment [E8]. Formed in 2018 to commercialise Cambridge research on porous GaN, Porotech is developing the means of producing low-cost porous GaN products and technologies such as LEDs, lasers, solar cells, power electronics, and sensors with performance properties that significantly exceed those of existing technologies. LEDs manufactured using porous GaN substrates, for example, were "some 25% more energy efficient than standard LEDs" ( see e.g. https://compoundsemiconductor.net/article/110968/British_GaN_Spin-out_Porotech_Raises_%C2%A315m). Porotech closed a £1.5M pre-seed investment round in November 2018, and in June 2020 opened an R&D facility. In 2020, it achieved commercial revenue of £11k, and in 2021 of £340k. It has raised £19M of investment, including substantial inward investment, and has created 22 new UK jobs.
• November 2018: £1.5M pre-seed funding raised • June 2020: Opened R&D facility and pilot plant in South Cambridgeshire • July 2020: completed first commercial order, supplying Osram Opto, the world's second largest optoelectronics company, achieving a revenue of EUR12,000. • November 2020: product launch of the world's first commercial native red LED epiwafer for micro-LED applications. • December 2020: Winners of International "Win the Future" Venture Contest in Suzhou, China. • June 2021: Raised £3M in seed funding round. • July 2021: Announced first commercial partnership, with Jade Bird Display (JBD) in China, a leader in micro-LED display technology. • October 2021: Announced world's first native red InGaN microdisplay • 2021: Annual commercial revenue of £340k. • February 2022: Completed series A Funding round of ca. £14.5M.
Poro Technologies won the 2018 Cambridge Enterprise Postdoc Business Plan competition and is currently in discussion with venture capatalists about seed funding.
