Seprify: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Seprify develops and produces functional materials derived from cellulose that are used as ingredients in consumer and industrial products. The company focuses on transforming cellulose, a plant-based biopolymer, into engineered particles that provide properties such as whitening, opacity, texture control, and light scattering for product formulations. These materials are designed to function as alternatives to mineral-based or fossil-derived ingredients commonly used in manufacturing. Seprify’s ingredient platform is applied across multiple industries, including food, cosmetics, paints, coatings, and printed electronics. In food products, cellulose-based pigments can provide whitening and visual consistency in items such as confectionery coatings, sauces, or baked goods. In cosmetics and personal care products, the materials can improve light scattering and support sun protection formulations while contributing to texture and visuals. The company also develops specialized ingredient grades such as cellulose-based pigments and SPF-enhancing additives designed for integration into existing manufacturing processes. These materials are used by product developers seeking alternatives to conventional ingredients like titanium dioxide and other synthetic additives used in color, texture, and protective formulations.

About FundedIQ's Seprify 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 Seprify is left off this page rather than filled in.
