O que 1849 bio faz
1849 bio designs microbes enabling cheap metal extraction allowing miners to unlock value from low quality copper and gold ores. Surprisingly, the mining industry is one of the largest scale users of biotech in the world with biomining processes accounting for ~1% of global copper production. Biomining is ultra-low cost, running around ~$1/ton of ore vs ~$7/ton for conventional processes. Unfortunately, while biomining is cheap, it can’t be applied to over 80% of copper ores, leaving vast resources without profitable extraction methods. An estimated ~$800B of copper sit today in waste materials and stockpiles with negative unit economics. While a great deal of effort has been spent on optimizing microbial metal extraction processes, very little effort has been spent on optimizing the microbes themselves. To change that, we’re creating new biotech tools and platforms applied directly to the types of biology most relevant to miners. This enables us to develop new microbes and tackle some of the most difficult problems in biomining, unlocking billions in value from unprofitable resources while being more environmentally friendly than conventional processes. We’re world class microbial engineers. We met while doing our PhDs in synthetic biology, where we spent our time applying and developing the most advanced bioengineering technologies to engineer living cells.

Company
1849 bio
Engineering microbes for miners to unlock billions in trapped metal
We engineer microbes specifically for mining companies to extract metal from low-grade ores and waste that conventional biomining can't handle. Our biotech platform creates new strains optimized to unlock value from unprofitable copper and gold resources at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.
We live in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC.
San Francisco is where our team lives and works. It also has biotech infrastructure and access to engineering talent we need to develop our synthetic biology platform.
