What Oath does
Oath Biome is a U.S.-domiciled Public Benefit Corporation that develops and sells a single biological soil amendment, Oath Soil Life, targeting the restoration of degraded soil microbiomes. The product is a low-cost, wettable powder formulation containing a diverse consortium of naturally occurring, non-GMO living microorganisms, OMRI-listed for organic use, that revitalizes microbial communities in depleted soils. The mechanism centers on secretion of gel-like compounds such as Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) that promote soil aggregate formation, with secondary claims around agricultural yield restoration, water conservation, nitrogen-fertilizer displacement, and carbon drawdown.
The company monetizes through direct e-commerce sales via its own Shopify-style storefront, which features a 'Shop the Lookbook' catalog, shopping cart, and free-shipping thresholds, but does not publicly list SKU pricing. Demand generation relies on organic social channels (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) and a segmented email newsletter with interest categories spanning Agriculture, Grasslands, Forests, Parklands & Turfgrass, Tree & Garden, Africa, Media, and Partnerships. A dedicated 'Oath Africa' landing page indicates a specific geographic focus on African agricultural markets in addition to a general 'global' footprint claim.
The business is structured as a Public Benefit Corporation with a Public Benefit Charter that commits it to ten-year goals including drawing down at least 1 billion tonnes of CO2, saving 100 billion gallons of water, avoiding 20 billion pounds of nitrogen fertilizer, and increasing food nutrients by 30%. Oath Biome does not disclose revenue, headcount, funding history, customer logos, patents, leadership team, or pricing in the available source material, and operates without a parent company or known institutional investors per the input data.
