Sergey Selifonov and Olga Selifonova of Segetis have a new company: Reluceo
Reluceo has backing from Khosla Ventures, as does Segetis.
What is their sweet spot?
From the site -
Reluceo enables technologies that will lead to products for effectively abating health, environmental, sustainability and economic security concerns. These concerns are widely associated with continuing reliance on polymers made entirely from fossil carbon sources.
Our technology utilizes C5 and C6 carbohydrates derived from hemicellulose and cellulose feedstocks as well as other bio-based intermediates for creating viable alternatives to petroleum-based products.
We also work on transitional materials that combine bio-based and fossil-based feedstocks making traditional non-green polymer products greener.

[Thanks to Bernard Hasson of SpecialChem for bringing this to my attention]
Questions about Reluceo I will be working on:
What are the specific feedstocks and products of interest?
Why not do this at Segetis?
I will update when I know more.
