Pivot Bio

aid: pivot-bio
name: Pivot Bio
description: Pivot Bio is an agricultural biotechnology company headquartered in Berkeley, California with additional operations
  in St. Louis, Missouri. The company engineers naturally occurring soil microbes to fix atmospheric nitrogen on crop root
  systems, providing a biological alternative to synthetic nitrogen fertilizer that reduces nitrous-oxide emissions, nitrate
  runoff, and exposure to volatile fertilizer prices. Pivot Bio's product line includes PROVEN 40 and PROVEN G3 (corn and
  corn silage), RETURN (wheat and small grains), CERT-N (cotton), and RETAIN (sorghum). The company also operates N-OVATOR,
  an outcomes-based program that pays farmers for verified emissions reductions; the program reports having paid out more
  than $6M to growers since 2022 and contributing to over 1,050,000 metric tons of CO2e avoided. Pivot Bio was founded by
  Karsten Temme (CEO) and Alvin Tamsir. Investors include Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Temasek, DCVC, Generation Investment
  Management, Pavilion Capital, G2 Venture Partners, Bond, and others. Pivot Bio's product is the microbe, not an API; the
  company operates a farmer-facing Salesforce-based portal but does not publish a public developer API or SDK.
