## About MaverickX

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: MaverickX develops advanced specialty chemicals that unlock oil, critical metals, and water from existing oilfield and mining infrastructure.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage, Y Combinator S22, total raised $54.81M)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Eric Herrera (CEO) and Jesse Evans (COO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Oil & Gas, Mining, Critical Minerals / Rare Earth Elements, Chemical Manufacturing
- **Target customers**: B2B – oil and gas operators, mining companies, industrial refineries; primarily enterprise-level operators in North America
- **Mission/purpose**: To unlock more oil and higher-value metals from existing wells cheaper, faster, and safer than legacy treatments, supporting global resource security and sustainability.

## Products & Services
- **PetroX™**: Specialty chemical solution for oil & gas wells that removes scale, paraffin, and iron, increases shale porosity up to 40x, and can liberate 50%+ more hydrocarbons. Reduces operating costs and downtime.
- **LithX™**: Chemistry for extracting lithium and other critical metals from low-grade ores and brine streams.
- **HydroX™**: Solution for treating produced water and recovering clean water alongside metals and oil.

All three are chemical formulations (not hardware or SaaS) deployed directly into client operations.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – $54.81M (latest round: $7.5M unattributed VC, ~Q2 2026); earlier seed round of $19M led by Olive Tree Capital
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Olive Tree Capital (lead), Y Combinator, Chord Energy (strategic investment)
- **Growth Signals**:

  - Headcount grew from ~30 to 29 (LinkedIn) with +3.8% monthly growth; 5 active job postings
  - Department of Energy contract to extract metals from old oil wells

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary chemistry**: Novel reaction pathways that increase shale porosity by up to 40x, enabling oil to flow where it previously couldn’t – not just swapping chemicals but rewriting reservoir physics.
- **Multi-commodity extraction**: Ability to co-produce oil, critical metals (REEs, gold, copper), and clean water from the same wells and infrastructure, turning stranded streams into high-value barrels and concentrates.
- **Non-toxic, safer chemistry**: Differentiated from legacy treatments that are hazardous; complies with ESG mandates and lowers operating costs.
- **First-mover in “mine old wells”**: Contracted by the Department of Energy to extract metals from legacy wells, giving unique expertise and credibility.
