Lithos Energy: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

LiTHOS mission is to deliver sustainable lithium production without the use of evaporation ponds. We offer AcQUA™, a patent-pending electro-pressure membrane process and method for recovery and concentration of lithium chloride from aqueous sources. This process spans the pre-treatment of raw brines through the DLE concentration of lithium chloride process. We have a fully commissioned brine processing facility in Denver, Colorado. LiTHOS is currently focused on processing continental brines from several strategic resource owners located in the United States, Argentina, and Chile. AcQUA(TM) is a patent-pending technology for an electro-pressure membrane process and method for recovery and concentration of lithium chloride from aqueous sources. AcQUA(TM) is a unique modular technology that is capable of pre-treatment, selective purification, and concentration of lithium-enriched brines prior to extracting lithium chloride. The unique AcQUA(TM) technology avoids the typical challenges faced by chemically intensive DLE technologies currently in the development phase. AcQUA(TM) enables lithium brine resource operators to deploy economically viable and sustainable field-ready extraction solutions that will substantially reduce water consumption by recycling 98.5% of the input brine water and eliminating the use of evaporation ponds in the pre-treatment and concentration phases of production.

About FundedIQ's Lithos Energy Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Lithos Energy is left off this page rather than filled in.
