An AI-native operating system for waste haulers. [trashlab.com](https://trashlab.com)

Company record · Updated November 10, 2026 · Presspool · https://presspool.ai/companies/trashlab-com

## Funding

Latest announced financing: $12 million, Series A, led by Ventana, announced October 29, 2026.

- **$12 million Series A**, announced October 29, 2026. Led by Ventana. The store name 'TrashLabs' is wrong: the company is TrashLab (trashlab.com; trashlabs.com is a parked page). Announced 2026-10-29 by a company-issued Business Wire release (read via its Morningstar mirror because Business Wire returns 403 to curl). The release says 'a $12 million growth round led by early-growth equity firm Ventana' and names Bienville Capital, Harlem Capital and CreativeCo as participating existing investors. The company's homepage banner and FreightWaves both call it a Series A. Ventana is an equity firm. Axios Pro and Bizjournals returned 403. AI test: the release calls the company 'an AI-native operating system for waste haulers', and the funds go to 'agentic workflows'. Listed in the [AI startup funding roster for October 26–31, 2026](https://presspool.ai/ai-startup-funding/week-of-2026-10-26). Sources: [TrashLab release (Business Wire via Morningstar)](https://www.morningstar.com/news/business-wire/20261029417588/trashlab-raises-12m-to-scale-the-ai-native-operating-system-for-waste-haulers), [FreightWaves](https://www.freightwaves.com/news/trashlab-raises-12m-ai-waste-haulers), [TrashLab homepage (Series A banner)](https://trashlab.com/).

Of the 71 Series A rounds with exactly stated amounts in dollars on Presspool's weekly rosters since September 21, 2026, TrashLab's $12 million is the 60th largest; their median is $20.7 million.

## Whether AI names TrashLab

- Machine Relations Index: Not cited in any Machine Relations Index answer, May 10, 2026 to November 10, 2026.

A company counts when an AI answer names it or cites its website. Answers vary from run to run, so each count is a dated sample.
