Launch of an Industry Leader
US Dynamics launched the dominant online retailer of pellet heating fuel,
woodpellets.com. The company recognized latent demand for high quality delivered fuels, and a growing consumer adoption of renewable heating. US Dynamics worked to assemble a leadership team, provided capital to prove the concept, and then raised over $15M in external capital to make this vision a reality.
In just two years, the company established a supply chain capable of delivering over 50 million pounds of product annually to tens of thousands of customers in 16 states. Over 98% of the company’s customers indicate they will refer friends, and the company earns a significant premium for fuels that are widely recognized as having superior quality and uniformity.
Innovative LED Lighting Solutions
Fusion Optix provides innovative lighting and light management
solutions, with a focus on LED illumination. The company provides
customized solutions and leverages an extensive arsenal of intellectual property. Some of the early capital that helped Fusion Optix was provided by a US Dynamics principal. The company was recently honored as a Red Herring’s Top 100 Startups, as well as the Fastest Growing Manufacturer in New England in 2012.
Innovation in Insulation
UltraCell is working to commercialize a technology related to the production of an advanced cellulose insulation. Our patented process can help produce cellulose insulation with distinct performance advantages.
Cellulose insulation is a rapidly growing form of insulation, and has been displacing fiberglass insulation for years, due to its superior thermal performance. US Dynamics was involved in crafting an initial strategy for UltraCell with a predecessor firm, and is taking a lead role on the launch of this technology.
