The University of Colorado Connection

Prometheus MaterialsÌýInc., which produces a zero-carbon concrete alternative, was co-founded by four faculty members at CU Boulder: Wil Srubar, Sherri Cook, Mija Hubler (CU Boulder Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering)Ìýand Jeff Cameron (CU Boulder Biochemistry). With a cross-disciplinary grant from DARPA that funded the underlying inventions, they were interested in forming a startup company and worked with Venture Partners to find a CEO and co-founder. Through the Venture Partners mentor network, they found serial entrepreneur Loren Burnett, and since then, Prometheus Materials has been off to the races!ÌýPrometheus is now headquartered in Longmont, CO.
