About Polymerize

We're Building the Intelligence Layer
for Materials R&D

Founded in 2020, Polymerize is on a mission to accelerate materials innovation globally. We're the AI-native platform that turns decades of scattered research into a compounding intelligence engine — so every experiment your team runs makes the next one smarter.

Our Mission

Accelerate Discovery. Democratize Innovation.

The world's biggest challenges; sustainability, energy, healthcare all depend on better materials. Yet the way materials are discovered hasn't fundamentally changed in decades. We're changing that. Polymerize brings the power of AI to the scientists, formulators, and engineers building the future, making world-class R&D accessible to every team, everywhere.

Our Story

Born from a Lab. Built for Every Lab.

Polymerize was founded by Kunal Sandeep and Dr. Abhijit Salvekar; one a serial SaaS entrepreneur, the other a materials scientist with deep R&D experience in the polymers industry. They saw the same problem from different angles: brilliant scientists wasting time on manual processes, losing insights in spreadsheet graveyards, and repeating experiments that had already been done. So they built Polymerize, a platform designed by researchers, for researchers.
