Seed Round Open · Northeast Corridor

Every discarded circuit board contains metals
the world desperately needs.
MetalBloom gets them back, cleanly.

We recover rare earth elements, precious metals, and base metals from electronic waste using four integrated recovery streams — the only domestic operation targeting REEs, PGMs, and base metals in a single facility.

Recovery Technology

Four Integrated Recovery Streams

No single process recovers everything. Our integrated facility routes each feedstock through the optimal stream, maximizing yield across all metal categories.

🧲
HPMS
Hydrogen Processing of Magnetic Scrap
Hydrogen decrepitation fractures NdFeB magnets into recoverable rare-earth powder at 95%+ efficiency — far superior to any chemical route for motors, HDDs, and EV components. No toxic solvents, no separation losses from sintered magnet structure.
Target Metals
Nd Pr Dy
🦠
Bioleaching
Selective Bioleaching & Biosorption
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans dissolves base metals from PCB laminate while Cupriavidus metallidurans selectively sequesters gold and palladium from the leach solution — up to 92% binding efficiency. Low-energy, low-reagent, scalable.
Target Metals
Au Pd Ag Cu
⚗️
Selective Aqua Regia
Targeted Hydrometallurgy (ICs & PGMs)
XRF pre-screening identifies high-value IC packages and platinum-group metal feedstocks before selective aqua regia dissolution. Controlled chemistry isolates Pt, Rh, and Pd with minimal co-dissolution of base metals — economic only where the numbers justify it.
Target Metals
Pt Rh Pd Au
⚡
Electrowinning
Electrochemical Recovery (Base Metals)
After bioleach or hydrometallurgical treatment, copper, tin, and gallium are recovered from solution via electrodeposition. Continuous plating cells produce LME-grade copper cathode. Energy-efficient and integrates directly with the upstream leach circuit.

Cu Sn Ga

Market Opportunity

$11.85B Market — and Nobody Owns It

The domestic critical minerals supply chain has a gap. We're filling it from the bottom up — starting with the 82 billion kilograms of e-waste generated annually.

⚡ The core insight: Every existing U.S. recycler picks one stream. Urban miners chase precious metals. Magnet recyclers chase REEs. Nobody integrates all four. MetalBloom does.
🔗
Integrated Multi-Metal Recovery Base metals + precious metals + rare earths from the same feedstock, in the same facility. Higher per-ton yield than any single-stream competitor.
🧩
Modular Architecture Each recovery stream is an independent module. Phase-in capital investment as cash flows develop. Replicate and license the model.
📍
Northeast Corridor Positioning Highest per-capita e-waste density in the U.S. Proximity to defense contractors, data centers, and municipal recycling programs actively seeking domestic processing.

We're raising to fund Phase 1 pilot validation. Early investors get first look at full diligence materials and direct access to the founding team.

Why invest now

📋
Pre-revenue pricing, post-thesis validation
Phase 1 capital captures maximum equity at minimum cost. Technology risk is validated by published recovery science. Execution risk is priced in.
🏭
Asset-backed, defensible infrastructure
Processing equipment is tangible collateral. The modular model creates licensing and exit optionality beyond the operating business.
🌍
Domestic critical minerals: the defining industrial policy of the decade
CHIPS Act, IRA, and DoD directives are writing us into the policy roadmap. Grant funding supplements equity — not replaces it.
📈
42–58% IRR in a $11.85B market
Conservative model assumes no grant captures, market pricing at floor, and 10% haircut on projected recovery rates. Numbers still work.
