## About Andes

Andes is a climate-tech and agricultural biotechnology company founded in 2018 in Alameda, California.

The company focuses on using microbes to address climate change by reducing the use of synthetic fertilizers and enabling permanent carbon capture in soil. Andes aims to harness beneficial microorganisms to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into stable soil minerals, promoting sustainable farming practices. The company offers several technologies, including Microprime, a microbial seed coating that enhances nitrogen fixation in crops like corn and soybeans, and Microbial Carbon Capture, which develops strains that convert atmospheric CO2 into inorganic carbon in soil. Andes also provides commercial carbon offset products through its Andes Carbon Program, allowing farmers to earn credits from carbon mineralization. Andes serves global agribusinesses, commercial farmers, and sustainability-focused cooperatives. The company has raised over $43 million in funding and employs around 230 people, positioning itself as a leader in climate-smart agriculture and biobased carbon removal.
