EcoFireBuster’s ThermoFortis is a next-generation coating/composite positioned as a multi-threat ‘climate armor’ for buildings and infrastructure that resists wildfire-level heat, reduces heat transfer, and leverages engineered carbon (biochar) from biomass. The slide deck claims ThermoFortis self-reinforces under extreme heat, resists up to 1600°C (listed as surviving up to 2900°F), offers ~30% indoor energy savings potential (20–30% HVAC savings), and provides urban cooling/solar-reflection benefits. The company outlines pilot plans, testing paths (IBHS, ASTM E84, C518, UL), a phased GTM, a $500K pre-seed raise (YC SAFE, 20% discount) and 5‑year financial projections.
