About Us

A private research and development team of Dr. Daniel Sweeney and John Read co-founded CELLULISTICS in 2013 to bring advanced structural foundational technologies (especially nanofibrillated cellulose, a.k.a. NFC) of transformational potential successfully to market. We invent industrial processes and designs in structural materials. We look principally to additive manufacturing, to disentangle limitations that currently keep NFC from mainstream potential, and provide novel means to use it.

Our efforts extend beyond NFC.

Philosophy

The company exploits those technologies to bring them directly to mass markets. Targeting mass-market requires products that cost within decision-makers budgets – i.e. homeowners. CELLULISTICS novel technologies and applications also stimulate grassroots self-sufficiency, provide protection from natural disasters, and enable local independence. These build wealth at local levels, encourage self-organization and emergent markets, and build better worlds.

Business Plan Basics
Market scope and low entry barriers indicate distributed manufacturing. It breaks down as follows:
1. Limited manufacture of core building designs & products to develop prototypes, scale to manufacturing, and take to market.
2. License and franchise those designs and processes.
3. Partner to develop outside of architectural core (e.g. musical instruments, aircraft, armor, etc.) & license those to developer partners.
4. Build leagues of manufacturers and developers.
5. Syndicate materials sources.  
6. Grant limited free licenses for academic & non‐commercial use, growing a pool of small developers and designs. Those in turn feed commercial enterprise as many of the non‐commercial developers turn commercial ‐ like unto applications developers in software.
