BrightStar Announces Investment in Technology That Increases Carbon Capture Efficiency

BrightStar Announces Investment in Milwaukee Health Tech Startup

MILWAUKEE, January 29, 2025 – BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation Inc. today announced that it has invested in Wales, WI-based Intrnls, Inc., joining lead investor CSA Capital as well as angel groups Milwaukee Venture Partners and Tundra Angels.
Intrnls has focused its unique additive manufacturing process on creating filters for large carbon capture applications.  Due to its unique material composition and design, the hope is that these filters will provide 9-10X more efficiency in the carbon capture process.  This has led to recognition by and partnership with a large energy company.

 

“It’s a unique situation to have a company at this early stage already partnering with a Fortune 500 company,” said Tom Shannon, BrightStar’s Executive Chairman.  “It is just validation of what they have proven with the technology thus far and also the growing demand in the marketplace.
The company moved to Wisconsin during the pandemic from Boston.  “When we got here, I fell in love,” said Matthew Pearlson, the Intrnl’s founder and CEO.  “Without hesitation, I believe this to be the best place to have launched the company and to develop plans to rapidly grow it.”
