HydroBlok™, a pioneer in waterproof composite panels for construction, has raised $6 million in an extended Series A round led by Pier 88 Investment Partners and Andina Capital Partners. The new funding will expand U.S. manufacturing, strengthen nationwide distribution, and accelerate R&D for next-generation building products designed to replace outdated materials like drywall and OSB.
A Disruptive Shift in Building Materials
While technology has transformed nearly every industry, most residential construction materials have remained stagnant.
Traditional gypsum board and OSB, which make up roughly 80% of homes, have seen little innovation in decades.
HydroBlok™ is changing that narrative by eliminating antiquated building materials and introducing a lightweight, waterproof, mold-proof board. This high-performance composite replaces traditional drywall and sheathing materials, offering a modern, efficient alternative that reduces waste and enhances durability.
Proven Efficiency and Cost Savings
Based on early market feedback and internal testing, HydroBlok™ has shown:
Up to 30% reduction in material and labor costs
Up to 50% faster build times
No need for redundant layers or extra insulation — these are built directly into every HydroBlok board
These results demonstrate HydroBlok’s potential to revolutionize construction workflows while delivering superior performance.
