The Newest Rising Stars List is out, and Xatoms is officially on the radar. 🌟

Huge thank you to @torontolife for naming our three co-founders, Diana Virgovicova(CEO), Kerem Topalismailoglu(CTO), and Shirley Zhong(COO) to Rising Stars 2025, alongside standout innovators shaping the future of Toronto across tech, culture, sports, research, and design.

This recognition shows that climate and water innovation are getting an increasing attention they deserve, and it also reflects the grind that brought us here, these long research days, setbacks, rapid breakthroughs, and a team that simply refuses to slow down.

As industrial wastewater becomes a defining challenge for North America, we’re committed to building solutions that scale across mining, textile, agriculture, and beyond.

Thank you, Toronto Life, for believing in emerging founders and spotlighting the work behind the vision.💧

What’s the latest big move in Canadian deep tech? Xatoms just earned a front-row seat in Canada’s most leading founders’ circle.

We’re honored to be selected for the C100 Fellows | 48hrs program, joining a cohort of 20 standout Canadian founders across climate, hard tech, robotics, SaaS, and beyond.

This recognition opens the door to a high-impact network of Silicon Valley operators, growth-stage mentors, and climate-focused investors, arriving at the perfect time as we scale our industrial pilots and prepare for our next funding round.

We’re proud to represent Canadian cleantech and bring AI & quantum-chemistry water innovation to the global stage. Huge thank-you to C100 for backing ambitious, world-scale builders.

Did you know that water contamination from heavy metals, synthetic dyes, to other industrial chemical pollutants affects over 2 billion people globally? Exposure to these persistent pollutants is linked to numerous health risks, making water contamination a rapidly escalating public health and environmental crisis worldwide.

This is where comes Xatoms.

At Xatoms, we harness quantum-designed, light-powered materials (photocatalysts) to purify water, affordably, portably, and sustainably.

Photocatalysts are powders that use sunlight or LEDs to eliminate water contaminants in 30 minutes, unlike traditional treatments that need heavy chemicals, electricity, or complex infrastructure. Our photocatalyst integrates in-line and destroys contaminants using very low energy and no added reagents, suited to off-grid/industrial operations.

Anima, the biomimicry studio, sees the water pollution challenge as a critical threat for both human health and ecosystems. Bioinspiration is a major opportunity to develop innovative water treatment solutions to reduce reliance on harmful chemicals and energy-intensive processes.

Proud to be Out of the Lab Award Top 5. Thank you Anima, the biomimicry studio for the kind support!

From lab to headlines — excited to be featured by The Globe and Mail.

At 14, a solo backpack trip sparked a stubborn belief that science should serve people. Years later that curiosity became Xatoms: an AI + quantum chemistry engine that discovers visible-light photocatalysts to turn sunlight or LEDs into real water treatment.

We’re lining up bench and on-site pilots across mining, textiles, and decentralized reuse. A few Q4/Q1 windows just opened—if you’re planning 2026 upgrades, now’s the time to reserve a slot and get first access to performance data and deployment support.

Operators and EPCs, DM to scope your stream. Investors focused on climate, water, or industrial decarbonization, message for our pilot plan and manufacturing roadmap. Builders, we’re hiring in materials, comp chem/ML, and field engineering.

Thank you the Globe team for telling this journey, and to everyone helping us turn photons into impact. 🚀
