LiquidLight

LiquidLight, Inc. (Liquid Light) was an electrochemistry company based in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey that developed and licensed process technology for converting carbon dioxide into industrial chemicals. Founded in 2009 by Kyle Teamey, Emily Cole, Andrew Bocarsly, Fouad Elnaggar and Nety Krishna around technology licensed from Princeton University, the company built a portfolio of more than 100 patents covering the electrochemical production of chemicals including monoethylene glycol (MEG), propylene and acetic acid, with MEG as its lead target market. It raised seed funding from Redpoint Ventures and a $15 million Series B in September 2014 from investors including VantagePoint Capital Partners and BP Ventures, and was also a Battery Ventures portfolio investment. Avantium acquired Liquid Light on January 10, 2017 and the company ceased operating independently. LiquidLight was a materials and process-technology company: it never published a public API, developer portal, SDKs or any machine-readable developer surface, and no company web property survives the acquisition. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as an accurate, non-API portfolio record.

LiquidLight is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Chemicals, Carbon Capture, Electrochemistry, and Materials Science.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/liquidlight: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
