Vision
SBCIE creates a secure digital exchange for trading small lots of specialty chemicals, reagents, and formulations for R&D; and pilot production. The vision is a governed ecosystem where labs and startups can source or sell under clear safety, compliance, and IP terms. Sponsors accelerate innovation and reduce waste from unused inventory sitting idle in fragmented supply chains.
Problem
Innovation labs frequently over-buy reagents or face long lead times for novel compounds. Surplus materials expire unused while other teams delay projects waiting for stock. Legal and safety constraints deter informal sharing; MSDS sheets, transport classifications, and IP terms are buried in scattered documents. The result is duplicated cost, safety risk, and lost innovation momentum.
Solution
Cosolvent standardizes listing templates, safety attestations, and shipping workflows. LLM+RAG enables users to upload MSDS PDFs, customs codes, or IP license snippets and query “can this solvent ship as limited quantity by air?” with sourced answers. ClientSynth models synthetic buyer-seller networks to forecast liquidity and compliance risks so sponsors can design funding or insurance instruments confidently.
Business Model
Revenue includes transaction fees, compliance verification tiers, and dataIlicensing for industry trend analytics. Sponsors such as innovation clusters or agencies can underwrite exchanges for specific chemical domains, measuring faster project starts and reduced waste as tangible ROI.
