Checkerspot is a materials innovation company. Advances in our understanding of biology, chemistry and materials science are converging with breakthroughs in data science and unleashing capabilities they once only imagined. Checkerspot's technology unlocks this potential, expands the palette of materials available to product designers and enables a more intentional way to design performance materials for specific applications. As a graduate of the Illumina Accelerator program, we are building a technology platform that enables the design – at a molecular level – of new materials. Through applications development, they prototype and iterate on specific product embodiments. By engaging directly with product users and partnering with socially responsible corporations, they design and bring to market superior products with better materials.
