Everbloom
Everbloom develops Renoa, the world's first regenerated protein fiber made from keratin-rich textile waste, offering a sustainable alternative to wool, silk, and cashmere. Powered by its proprietary Braid AI model, the company predicts fiber traits before production, cutting laboratory testing time from two months to two weeks. The fiber is compatible with existing yarn-spinning and textile supply chains for immediate industrial adoption.

Problem
The global fiber market, valued at $994 billion, remains heavily dependent on fossil-fuel-based synthetics that are non-biodegradable, with two-thirds of all fiber production currently relying on these unsustainable materials. As consumer and regulatory demand grows for recyclable, scalable alternatives, existing natural fibers like wool and cashmere face significant environmental and capacity limitations.
Solution
Everbloom harnesses pre-existing organic proteins to develop next-generation materials, tapping into abundant natural potential to achieve exceptional performance levels. The Everbloom Process transforms keratin waste into Renoa, the world's first fiber regenerated from keratin waste, delivering a product that is softer than merino, more indulgent than cashmere, and stronger than silk. Powered by the proprietary Braid AI model, the company predicts fiber traits like softness, strength, texture, and dyeability before production, reducing laboratory testing time from two months to two weeks. The material is circular, biodegradable, and made in the USA from domestic waste, while remaining compatible with existing yarn-spinning and textile supply chains for immediate industrial adoption.
Target Audience
Primary customers are fashion and textile brands seeking sustainable, high-performance fiber alternatives, as well as material manufacturers and supply chain partners looking to transition away from fossil-fuel-based synthetics.
