Visibuilt was founded in early 2023 by Line Kloster Pedersen, a biotechnologist and serial entrepreneur. Shocked by the asphalt industry’s reliance on outdated, oil-dependent methods, she created Visibuilt, aiming to reduce dependency on fossil-fueled binders and advance climate tech solutions. Inspired by observing fungi in nature and in the laboratory, she envisioned a natural fungal binder, which became visiBIT.

Visibuilt’s mission is to pioneer sustainable solutions in road construction by replacing harmful substances from the fossil fuel industry with cutting-edge, earth-friendly materials in asphalt.

On A Journey to Make Road Construction More Sustainable
Asphalt is a relatively simple product, consisting of 95% stone and 5% bitumen. The production method for asphalt has not changed in decades, and although it seems simple, the current formula may be an obstacle to achieving the climate goals set by the EU Commission’s ‘European Green Deal’ to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

VisiBIT is based on mycelium and, through a special fermentation process, aims to create a binder for the asphalt industry that replaces bitumen and enables significant energy savings by reducing production temperatures from up to 250°C to room temperature. Visibuilt aims to change the narrative of asphalt being black, fossil-based, and out of sync with the green transition goals towards 2050 by introducing new circular, environmentally friendly, and nature-inspired techniques with visiBIT.
