Still Bright

Still Bright develops a patented hydrometallurgical process for the rapid, clean, and complete recovery of copper from concentrated ore, The company's technology replaces traditional smelting, enabling copper conversion at room temperature and pressure, which brings copper production back to the U.S. by eliminating the need for overseas refining and With copper demand projected to double in the next decade and declining ore quality threatening supply chains, Still Bright's solution addresses these challenges by unlocking expanded copper resources previously considered unrecoverable, The company targets the localized, cost-effective extraction that maximizes recovery while minimizing environmental harm and waste. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Newark, United States, the company has raised $18.7 million in seed funding from investors including HAX, Material Impact, Breakthrough Energy, Azolla Ventures, Fortescue, Impact Science Ventures, and SOSV.
