Pulpum

Every reel, on grade.

Seed · 2026 Pulp & paper autonomy Active

The autonomous operations layer for pulp and paper manufacturing — autonomous stock preparation and wet-end chemistry control, forming, pressing and drying optimisation with dryer-steam scheduling, coating and reeling control, AI web-defect inspection from high-speed line-scan cameras, web-break prediction, grade-change sequencing, and an as-run paper-machine digital twin that tests every recipe change against off-spec tonnes, break risk and steam before it reaches the machine.

Company profile. Pulpum details — founders, headquarters, products, and open roles — are taken from the company's own materials. AWSM VC backed Pulpum's $1M seed round.
