About
Transition Metal Solutions develops custom chemical additives that enhance wild microbial communities for metal extraction.

Starting with copper, a metal key to the energy transition, the technology is designed to extend to other critical minerals. The company is backed by leading climate and deeptech investors across the US, Europe, and Australia.
