CarbonBright

Market position

Positions itself as an AI-native alternative to slow, manual and expensive traditional LCA consulting work, consolidating LCA, PCF, EPD, Scope 3 and product compliance into a single platform rather than multiple separate tools.

Combines automated LCA, product carbon footprinting, EPD generation, Scope 3 accounting and regulatory BOM screening in one system; emphasizes AI-driven data gap filling, results in minutes rather than months, portfolio-scale coverage from a single SKU to 10,000+, and continuous screening against 500+ global compliance regulations.

Technology

AI-native platform that converts BOM, material, supplier and manufacturing data into a centralized digital product model. An "LCA agent" imports BOM and supplier data from multiple sources, maps inputs to emission factors, fills supply-chain data gaps with process models and proprietary emissions models, estimates Scope 3, and checks ISO 14040 conformance to produce audit-ready assessments. Additional capabilities include benchmarking against industry averages, hotspot identification, eco-design scenario modelling, automated BOM substance screening, and auto-generation of EPD documentation.

Go-to-market

Direct enterprise sales driven by "Book a Demo" requests from the website, supported by content marketing (articles on the EU ECGT Directive, EPD costs, and EPDs in asphalt and concrete manufacturing), customer testimonials and partnerships.

Consumer packaged goods manufacturers, brands and suppliers, plus producers in personal care, electronics, food packaging, building products and construction materials (including ready-mix concrete, precast, cement and asphalt producers). Within customer organizations, the platform targets supply chain and sustainability teams, brand marketing teams, and product engineering/R&D teams. Enterprise buyers are addressed with SSO, role-based access and ERP integrations.

Geography

Headquartered in Bend, Oregon, with San Francisco, California also listed as a company location. Product coverage targets global standards and EU regulations, including CSRD, REACH and the EU ECGT Directive.

History

Founding year is listed as 2022 by the Techstars job board and as May 2023 by the company's Gust profile. The company is incorporated as a C-corp and is based in Bend, Oregon, with San Francisco also listed as a location. It appears on the Techstars company job board and lists Techstars, 42VC and Long Way Ventures as backers.

Risks & controversies

Public sourcing on founding date is inconsistent (2022 per the Techstars job board versus May 2023 per the Gust profile), and leadership listings differ across sources. Performance figures such as 95% less modelling time, sub-30-minute ISO 14040 assessments and 500+ regulations screened are company-stated and not independently verified.
