Pathways, a New York-based AI platform that turns manufacturers' operational data into environmental product documentation, has raised $6 million in seed funding. Sorenson Capital led the round, with Pi Labs, Zacua Ventures, Blue Lion, Positive Ventures, Great Wave, Titan Ventures, and Heidelberg Materials also participating. Total funding since the company's 2023 launch now stands at $10 million. Its largest contract, with Heidelberg Materials, is worth more than $1 million and covers sites in North America, Europe, and Australia. Pathways starts with Environmental Product Declarations, which manufacturers need to win major construction contracts. Producing one has traditionally cost $20,000 or more per product and taken six to 12 months. Pathways' AI agents collect and structure data from existing systems, invoices, and spreadsheets. The funding will expand the platform across more materials and documentation requirements, and grow the team.

In 2023, Stella-Jones partnered with Pathways, an AI-powered LCA and EPD solution provider, who were seeking leaders in the materials manufacturing space to further develop their AI and data tools to advance the capabilities of EPD creation.
