## About

Based in Germany, founded in 2020, GaeaStar GmbH operates as a clean technology firm that offers paper cups and clay cups. The company was founded by Sanjeev Mankotia. In April 2023, GaeaStar GmbH raised USD 6.5 million in seed funding from Climate Capital, DART Labs, Morningside Group, Sand Hill Angels, and VSC Ventures.

GaeaStar manufactures and develops zero-waste disposable clay cups, including paper cups and clay cups that are made up of materials like clay, water, and salt and can store liquid in sizes between 75 mL and 340 mL. The company uses 3D printing and manufacturing to produce containers, which is an alternative to plastic products.

The company plans to use the funds raised in April 2023 to speed up its growth and expansion.
