Alpine Bio

Alpine Bio is a molecular-farming biotechnology company (formerly Nobell Foods and Alpine Roads), founded in 2016 and based in South San Francisco, California. It produces next-generation protein ingredients and bioactives from plants using advanced purification and molecular farming, having expressed more than 15 complex proteins including the world's first plant-derived casein, fractionated soy protein isolates, and activated iron-loaded lactoferrin. The company sells high-purity, clean-label ingredients to food and beverage formulators for applications such as protein shakes, bars, coffee creamers, iron supplements, yogurt, and clear protein sodas, and markets animal-free dairy products under the Nobell Foods brand. It is a portfolio company of a16z surfaced in the API Evangelist network; Alpine Bio publishes no public developer API, SDK, or developer portal at this time.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Alpine Bio is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Alpine Bio scores 9.3/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Alpine Bio is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
