## What Modern Meadow is

Modern Meadow is a materials manufacturer, not a software vendor. It has **no public API, no
developer portal, no API documentation, no SDKs, no OpenAPI/GraphQL/AsyncAPI/MCP surface, no
`/.well-known/` documents, and no GitHub organization.** Contract discovery on 2026-08-01
probed every candidate path on both of its hosts and found nothing machine-readable.

- Founded 2011 in Brooklyn by Andras Forgacs, Francoise Marga, Gabor Forgacs and Karoly Jakab
- Innovation lab in Nutley, New Jersey (opened 2017); HQ Pine Brook, New Jersey
- Roughly $236M raised
- Technology lineage: Bio-Alloy platform -> BIO-VERA (2023) -> INNOVERA (2025, current flagship)
- Partners: BASF; HELLER-LEDER (2026 European joint venture); Allbirds (Terralux footwear line)
- Industries: interiors, fashion and accessories, footwear, automotive

## Optional

- [Careers](https://innovera-world.com/about#careers): job listings are rendered client-side from the Greenhouse job board API using the board token `modernmeadow`. That endpoint is Greenhouse's API, not Modern Meadow's, and is not catalogued as a Modern Meadow API. The corporate site's own `/careers` path 307s to `legacy.modernmeadow.com`, which currently fails its TLS handshake.
- Security posture: no `/.well-known/security.txt`, no vulnerability disclosure policy, no bug bounty, no trust center, no published certifications. TLS 1.3 on both hosts; no HSTS, no DNSSEC and no CAA on either domain; SPF and DMARC (`p=quarantine`) on modernmeadow.com but neither on innovera-world.com.

## AI crawler posture

`https://modernmeadow.com/robots.txt` explicitly disallows **GPTBot**, **Google-Extended** and
**PerplexityBot**, with the comment "there's no benefit to allowing it to index your site". Modern
Meadow has deliberately opted out of AI crawling. Treat this file as a third-party catalog
summary, not as an invitation from the company.
