Diamond Foundry was founded with the goal of reinventing the $100B diamond industry from “mine to finger” by setting a new standard for social and environmental good. The founding team of M.I.T., Stanford, and Princeton engineers previously developed pioneering breakthroughs in solar power technology – and had a hunch that techniques used to harness the energy of the sun could also be used to make a better diamond, atom by atom.

Diamond Foundry Key Facts
- Diamond Foundry expanded its operations after receiving an $85 million EU grant to fund its Spanish Lab-Grown Factory in December 2024. As of January 2025, they announced that they started operations at D Foundry II in Spain which they claim will not only create 300 new jobs but also produce what CEO, Martin Roscheisen, expects to be 20 million carats per year.
- Diamond Foundry reports that it has made multiple technological innovations including, according to the company, creating the world's first single-crystal diamond wafer. Diamond Foundry believes this marks a significant advancement in semi-conductor technology. The company also announced that it had created the first diamond based electric-car inverter, which they report is 6x smaller than that of a Tesla 3 while delivering more power more efficiently. With these innovations, the company hopes to solve the thermal limitation at the foundation of AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless industries.
- The market for lab grown diamonds is growing as revealed by the 2025 Real Weddings Study, which found that 52% of couples had an engagement ring featuring a lab-created diamond which is an increase of 6% from the previous year and 40% since 2019. This could be due to the increasing popularity of lab-created diamonds as a less expensive alternative to natural diamonds and could therefore offer a huge market opportunity for Diamond Foundry to meet this customer demand.
- Two Israeli companies, E.Y. Orot Assets and Omega Eco Diamonds, filed a $5 million lawsuit against Diamond Foundry in August 2024, claiming that the company failed to comply with an Israeli court judgement. After Diamond Foundry failed to deliver a previous deposit by the court-mandated deadline, the two companies are now asking that the U.S. court enforce the Israeli court's default judgement. This lawsuit could cause significant legal costs and reputational damage.
- The market for laboratory-grown diamonds is facing challenges due to falling prices, oversupply, and a faltering trust. There are also concerns regarding consumer protection and fraud arising, especially in India, where there is confusion about diamond classification and cases of money laundering. This market environment could negatively impact the company's operations especially if more stringent regulations are put in place.
- The competitive environment is tough for laboratory-grown diamonds as it is "getting very difficult for anyone to compete with Chinese and Indian producers". There have been some high-profile failures, most notably WD Lab Grown Diamonds, once the second-biggest US producer, which filed for bankruptcy in October of 2023. If Diamond Foundry is not able to successfully differentiate itself from competitors it could face challenges with profitabilty and customer acquisition.
