There is a particular sound you hear when deep tech gets real. It is not hype. It is not pitch-deck poetry. It is the quiet hum of materials doing exactly what physics demands while the market finally catches up. Nitride Global lives in that frequency. Wichita-built, globally relevant, and allergic to noise, this company has been stacking capability while most people were still arguing about supply chains like they were abstract concepts instead of economic gravity.
On February 3, 2026, Nitride Global announced a Q4 2025 convertible note investment led by Wichita-based Accelerate Venture Partners alongside eGrowth Ventures, part of NetWork Kansas. Local capital with global intent. The kind of funding that understands patience, process, and why advanced materials do not sprint, they compound. This was not a victory lap. It was a calibration.
Chairman & CEO Mahyar Khosravi, P.Eng. has been clear about the mission from day 1. Build real aluminum nitride and aluminum oxynitride capability in the United States and make it matter to power electronics, advanced packaging, datacenter power and compute, photonics, and aerospace and defense. Materials that carry heat like a professional secret and hold reliability under pressure. No theatrics. Just performance.
President Dr. Brian J. Soller brings the kind of leadership that understands both lab reality and market consequence. Pair that with CSO Dr. Matthew Healy, whose chemistry instincts meet commercial discipline, and VPs Jeremy Jones and Jason Schmitt driving business development and R&D with scars earned the hard way, and you start to see why this company keeps getting pulled into serious conversations.
Accelerate Venture Partners and eGrowth Ventures did not back a trend. They backed infrastructure. They backed domestic production, technical depth, and a Wichita ecosystem that knows how to build things that last. This capital is about scaling capability, strengthening supply chains, and turning advanced materials into deployed advantage.
