\begin{abstract}
Hi, I'm Lisa Jarvis, Senior Correspondent for C\&EN. I cover the
pharmaceutical industry, and routinely write about young biotech
companies that have spun out of academic labs. For C\&EN's Ten Start-ups
to Watch, I helped generate a long list of start-ups worth considering
and, along with Melody and our editor Mike McCoy, pared those down to
the 10 ``winners.'' Now taking suggestions for start-ups with chemistry
at their core to consider for next year's feature. Hi, I'm Melody
Bomgardner, Senior Business Editor for C\&EN. I primarily cover the
so-called cleantech sectors--along with agriculture and food topics--for
the magazine. Start-ups are rather common in the cleantech industries
and, increasingly, in agriculture. I love talking to entrepreneurs about
how they go from discoveries in the lab to creating a sustainable
business. The result of our searching and winnowing appeared in the Nov.
2 issue. C\&EN profiled 10 start-ups working across a wide range of
fields---from agriculture to biotechnology to materials science and
beyond. The list includes Padlock Therapeutics, Carbon3D, Liquid Light,
and Nohms Technologies. Whether they're trying to treat a debilitating
disease or extend the life of your cell phone battery, these companies
are united by a common theme: They all are using groundbreaking
chemistry to solve real-world problems. Some have substantial backing
from venture firms or corporate partners; others are still working to
validate their technology. We arrived at this diverse collection by
polling knowledgeable staffers, scouring databases of start-ups, and
asking tuned-in sources for recommendations. We'll be back at 1:00 pm
EST(10 am PT, 6 pm UTC) to start answering questions. EDIT: It's 1pm
EST, and we're live. Melody and I will be here for an hour to answer
your question. EDIT: Thanks, all! It's 2pm EST and Melody and I are
signing off. If you haven't, check out the profiles of the ten companies
we think are worth keeping an eye on:
