Morgan Lehtinen and Sebastian Alamillo are the co-founders of RXN Hub, a new facility to help ChemTech ventures scale from lab to market.
RXN Hub is tackling one of the biggest and least-addressed challenges in climate tech: how to scale chemical technologies from the lab to commercial scale.
Whether you're working on carbon capture, energy storage, or green industrial processes, there’s often nowhere to go once your research is too big for a university but too early for a full-scale plant.
Morgan and Sebastian have both lived that experience as chemtech founders, and now they’re building the infrastructure they wish they had: wet labs, flexible factory spaces, and a network of project partners to make scaling up faster, easier, and more cost effective.
