Accelerating materials discovery
Matproof was built to solve a simple problem: materials researchers spend too much time on candidates that will never work. We help you fail fast on bad ideas so you can focus on the winners.
Our Mission
We believe the next generation of batteries, catalysts, and advanced materials will be discovered faster with better tools. Matproof provides instant feasibility analysis so researchers can make data-driven decisions before committing weeks of lab time and thousands of dollars in materials.
What we believe
Accuracy First
We pull from authoritative sources like Materials Project, OQMD, and USGS. Every data point is traceable to its source.
Speed Matters
Research moves fast. Our API returns comprehensive analysis in under 2 seconds, so you can iterate quickly.
Transparency
We show our work. Every score includes the underlying data, confidence levels, and methodology used.
Accessibility
Materials intelligence should not be locked behind expensive enterprise software. Our free tier is genuinely useful.
Our Story
Matproof started in late 2024 when our founders were working on battery materials research and realized they were spending more time on literature review and feasibility checks than actual experiments.
The data existed — in databases like Materials Project, OQMD, and AFLOW — but there was no easy way to get a quick, comprehensive answer to the question: "Is this material worth pursuing?"
So we built Matproof: a single API that combines cost estimation, thermodynamic stability, supply chain risk, and synthesis feasibility into one composite score. What used to take hours of research now takes seconds.
Today, Matproof is used by researchers at universities and companies around the world to pre-validate material candidates before they hit the lab.
