BDC, other Xanadu investors back Meissner’s “discovery engine” for superconductors

Toronto-based deep technology startup Meissner wants to find and develop the next generation of superconducting materials. Meissner announced $2.6 million USD ($3.6 million CAD) in pre-seed financing on Tuesday to build what it describes as “the discovery engine” for superconductors, using a combination of machine learning (ML), computation, and experimental validation. Superconductors are “definitely the picks and shovels to unlocking high-growth, high-tech industries.” Olivia Leng, Meissner Su
