Paragraf
Paragraf is a Nanomaterials & Carbon company founded in 2015 and based in Cambridge, United Kingdom. It has raised $60M in total funding, most recently a Series C in 2025.
A spin-out from the University of Cambridge founded in 2015 by Simon Thomas (CEO), Colin Humphreys and Ivor Guiney, Paragraf grows graphene directly onto semiconductor wafers using a contamination-free process compatible with existing chip-fab equipment. That lets it make the first commercially available graphene electronic devices, starting with high-sensitivity Hall-effect magnetic-field sensors and extending to graphene field-effect transistors and biosensors. The company opened its graphene-electronics foundry near Cambridge in 2024 and raised a $55M Series C in August 2025 led by the UAE sovereign fund Mubadala, with Amadeus Capital Partners, British Patient Capital and IQ Capital participating, bringing total funding above $60M.
Paragraf is the clearest proof that graphene can move from lab curiosity to volume-manufactured electronics on standard semiconductor lines.
