While there is much competition and innovation in this potentially disruptive new industry, Apis Cor stood out primarily because of their focus on repeatable, scalable processes that can produce a high quality product as the company grows. Combine this with great proprietary chemistry, visionary leadership, and no need for scaffolding, and you have a recipe for an industry leader within 5 years.

As real estate investors, my business partner, Roy Cleeves and I both see a lot of potential and opportunities with 3D printed house technologies. After careful comparison with other available systems, we found the technology of Apis Cor very promising. We are planning to be the first to work with Apis Cor to do 3D printed houses in Canada. We have lined up land for such projects. When we learnt about the opportunities to invest in Apis Cor, we took action right away and put our investment into the company. We believe in team at Apis Cor!"

Apis-Cor is among a rare breed of startups that have the potential to both disrupt a massive market -- construction -- and also create new markets. By combining robotics with 3-D Printing for construction, not only can you outperform the existing construction market by 9x, you can also create complex building structures that were not economically feasible in the past. We are very excited about the potential of Apis-Cor, and thrilled to have backed them in Alchemist.

We invested in Anna and Apis Cor based on the strength of Anna as a leader combined with a technology and approach that we felt was unique on the marketplace. Just look at what has been built with their technology that other technologies are not able to match in terms of size for example. Anna and her team have continued to impress us and we are very proud to be part of their journey!
