Bedrock Materials
Bedrock Materials was a Chicago-based deep-tech startup founded in 2023 by Spencer Gore (CEO, previously Tesla and Enovix) and Rafael Vila (CTO, Stanford battery scientist) to manufacture engineered sodium-ion cathode active materials as a low-cost, easy-to-source alternative to lithium-ion — built from abundant sodium, manganese, iron and aluminum, and designed to drop into existing lithium-ion cell manufacturing lines for low-voltage, starter-lighting-ignition, micromobility and industrial-traction applications. It raised a $9M seed round led by Trucks Venture Capital with Refactor Capital and Version One Ventures. In April 2025 the company wound down and returned the majority of that seed capital to its investors: CEO Spencer Gore concluded that sodium-ion could not be produced cheaply enough to beat lithium iron phosphate (LFP) after lithium oversupply collapsed prices, and that energy-density gains carried steep trade-offs. Bedrock Materials was a materials-science manufacturer and never operated a developer program, public API, or developer portal; both bedrockmaterials.com and its former bedrock.inc website are now parked/for-sale domains with no company content. This profile is retained as a verified-defunct record in the API Evangelist network — there is no API surface to enrich.
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.
Bedrock Materials 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 — Bedrock Materials scores 6.8/100 (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.

Bedrock Materials 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.
