Kremenak Nanotech, Inc. (KNT) is a deep-tech company founded in 2018 that develops advanced materials for microbial control. The company's core innovation is Urchin Black™ (UB™), a patent-pending nano-material that physically destroys bacteria, fungi, and protozoa on contact without using toxins or heat. KNT's primary product is the Shredder™, a liquid-treatment system for the beverage industry that provides instant, zero-energy pasteurization, preserving the flavor and freshness of drinks. The technology is also being developed as a reusable nano-spiky surface coating to protect healthcare facilities, office spaces, and HVAC systems by physically shredding bacteria and fungi while immobilizing viruses.
The company was founded by Dr. Jesse Kremenak, who serves as CEO, after he completed his Ph.D. in experimental physics and saw the commercial potential for his Urchin Black™ innovation. Dr. Kremenak's background in physics and his work across multiple fields have resulted in several patents. The founding team also includes AJ Davis, who has an MBA in Entrepreneurship and an M.S. in economics, and oversees operations and business strategy. The company operates out of the University of Missouri Life Science Business Incubator, managed by the Missouri Innovation Center. Kremenak Nanotech has received funding from investors including the Missouri Technology Corporation, Allen Angel Capital, and Centennial Investors.
