Diamond Foundry produces manmade diamonds in San Francisco, California.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Overview
Diamond Foundry was founded in 2013 by Martin Roscheisen, Jeremy Scholz, and Kyle Gazay. The company "grows" diamond by placing a small piece of a natural diamond in a plasma reactor for a few weeks. The resulting manmade diamond is the same atomically as a natural diamond but without the costs, hazards, and environmental hazards with occur in diamond mining.[8]
The company has raised $100 million in funding from numerous billionaires and individuals including spokesperson Leonardo DiCaprio.[9] Investors include Google founding investor Andy Bechtolsheim, iPod inventor Tony Fadell, eBay founding President Jeff Skoll, Twitter founder Evan Williams, Facebook co-founder Andrew McCollum, Jean Pigozzi, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bono, and others.[1]
Technology
The company iterated five generations of plasma reactor designs using tens of thousands software simulations of plasma physics, resulting in its current technology that is capable of stably managing a much higher density plasma for diamond growth at very high temperatures.[10]
Awards
Diamond Foundry was named Top 50 Disruptor by CNBC[11], one of the "25 hottest startups that launched in 2015" by Business Insider [12], Inc. Magazine's Top 25 Disruptor[13], among other awards.
