I’m gratified by the support of our existing (Blue Bear Capital) and new (Congruent Ventures, Moxxie Ventures, and MetaProp) investors in our over-subscribed A1 round. This is not the easiest time to raise new capital, but Demex’s unique ability to address a multi-billion-dollar global reinsurance problem combined with our demonstrated market traction over the past year made for a compelling investment case.? I’m proud of what the Demex team has?achieved?so far,?and I’m looking forward to working with such engaged investors Hank Hattemer, Ernst Theodor Sack, Abe Yokell, Katie Jacobs Stanton, Alex Roetter, and Zak Schwarzman as we rapidly scale the company based on our initial success.?

We're proud to spotlight our portfolio company, Kodama Systems, which is at the forefront of addressing one of our most pressing climate challenges: wildfires. Through their groundbreaking technology, Kodama is revolutionizing the way we manage our forests by automating logging operations, increasing the capacity for timber crews to thin woods, and enhancing our ability to map and monitor forest health. Kodama is not just making forest management more efficient, it's also making it safer and more sustainable! #ClimateTech #WildfirePrevention #ForestManagement #Sustainability
