TL;DR: Living Carbon does not publish a price list we can verify, which is normal for Industrials companies at this stage. Below: what we can confirm, how to get a real quote, and 8 comparable tools to benchmark the number against.
What is verifiable about Living Carbon pricing, how to get a real quote, and 8 comparable tools to price it against.
Last verified:
Not in any source we can verify. Living Carbon is a Y Combinator-backed Industrials company from the Winter 2020 batch, and companies at this stage usually quote per customer rather than publish rate cards. We will not guess at a number — anything quoted elsewhere without a source is guesswork too. The company profile we work from is the Y Combinator listing; the current figure has to come from Living Carbon directly.
These are the closest comparable tools, matched on what Living Carbon actually does. Price each one alongside it — stage and team size are a reasonable proxy for where a vendor sits on price.
| Compare against | What it does | Stage | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boost Biomes | — | YC Summer 2019 | 12 |
| ThereCraft | — | YC Summer 2017 | 1 |
| Modular Science | We're making it easier to do sustainable farming. | YC Summer 2017 | — |
| Birch Biosciences | We recycle plastic using engineered enzymes | YC Summer 2022 | 10 |
| Genecis Bio | Makes guilt-free plastics from food waste | YC Winter 2020 | 30 |
| 1849 bio | Engineering microbes for miners to unlock billions in trapped metal | YC Summer 2024 | 3 |
| Micro Meat | Technologies for scaling up cultured/clean meat production | YC Summer 2021 | — |
| Alga Biosciences | We stop cows from burping methane. | YC Winter 2022 | 6 |
That depends on a number we cannot see, so judge it on what we can: Living Carbon is currently Active with a team of around 40. A small team means faster support and more negotiating room, but more risk of the product changing direction. A larger or public vendor costs more and moves slower. If price is the deciding factor, the earlier-batch companies in the table are usually the ones still competing on it.
