About Troy

Troy Fohrman is a recognized industry expert for:


Troy's intellectual properties have been used as the foundation for five (5) successful start-up entities:

  1. Founder and shareholder of Baton Rouge, LA, USA-based Carver Scientific, Inc. (aka CSi), which develops novel polymer chemistry for organic surface coatings and 'plastic' battery platforms alongside unique micro-heating solutions for tactical and military use cases. Team CSi successfully closed both Series A & Series B rounds and continues to operate profitably today, 13 years after founding.

  2. Founder, shareholder, COO-->CEO, and Chairman of Palm Beach, Florida, USA-based Biltmore Technologies, Inc. Team Biltmore successfully closed its Seed round in December 2014, advancing its proprietary electrochromic and novel organic surface coating platforms. The Woodman Family Trust acquired Biltmore in May 2016. The Woodman Family Trust is managed by Nick Woodman, CEO, GoPro.

  3. Executive Producer and shareholder of Sutures, LLC. Established for the feature film of the same name, which was successfully- and profitably- monetized beginning Q2, 2009 until the LLC closed in July 2012.

  4. Co-founder and shareholder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, Inc., a Space Coast, Florida, USA start-up that went public in December 2023 after announcing the discovery, and the first-ever USPTO-issued patent, for a method of propellant-free propulsion. Long believed to be impossible, a team led by Dr. Charles Buhler (NASA) & Andrew Aurigema, BSASE (Blue Origin) conclusively demonstrated in hard vacuum (10-6 Torr) that harnessing the fundamental characteristics of quantum mechanics is both scalable and commercializable within the known laws of physics. Team Exodus successfully closed its Series A round in May 2026, accelerating its mission to fundamentally transform the global aerospace market—the way we transport and travel.

  5. Founder, shareholder, Managing Principal, and Chairman for his 5th start-up, iPolish, Inc. Based in Space Coast, Florida, USA, iPolish® is well-positioned to expand its leadership role in the forthcoming transformation of the $200B global chemical-based color cosmetics industry—a 5,000-year-old sector—away from lotions, potions and powders toward on-demand digital self-expression, which is only now possible with revolutionary new organically-based micro-display technologies.

He also successfully led a pre-Series A funding close for a 6th business entity, US Protein & Enzyme, Inc. ("USPE"). Seed funding from Greenfield Energy in 2011 was secured to fund a university partnership Troy negotiated, to commercialize the University of Central Florida-developed Chloroplast Transformation Technology ("CTT"). Following cultivation at scale, the CTT platform produced 1/20th of advertised yields resulting in the Company's dissolution.

Six of his books have been published through Roundtable Publishing, and have been in circulation since 1999.


Troy's greatest achievements are his three sons Tyler, Kyle, and Jacob Fohrman, all of whom are successful in their own rights.

    True Story


    Like tens of thousands of Americans who live on the west coast, I visited Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico (aka Mexico's wine country) for an extended weekend. While in Mexico, the local cartel successfully broke into my Mercedes and stashed over 70 pounds of fentanyl and a tracking device into the undercarriage, which was promptly discovered upon my return through the US border.

    I have been cleared of any wrongdoing (known as a “Blind Mule”), with search engine results apparently only willing to reflect the arrest at the border and not the court's subsequent dismissal (view here!) and the situation's resolution. A case of extraordinarily-bad luck, which will make an interesting chapter in my autobiography one day.

    Ask me about it! It's certainly an interesting story, now that everything is behind me.
