Jesse Henry

Founder & CEO

In 2020, Jesse Henry founded Heartland, a materials company that makes natural fibers to reinforce plastic. Sourcing sustainable inputs meant chasing leads across chemicals, packaging, agriculture, food, and beauty supply chains that were slow, fragmented, and expensive to navigate.

So ALT LABS built the platform Jesse wished he had. Material Transition unifies supplier data from dozens of fragmented sources into one place sourcing teams can actually use: AI-powered search, geographic supply-chain mapping, and bill-of-materials spec matching that returns suppliers in seconds, not weeks.

The result is the operating system for sustainable sourcing. Find a supplier, map the supply chain behind a material, and match a spec to real options worldwide, all from a single workspace.

"Sourcing sustainable materials should take minutes, not months. We built the platform that makes that real."
