We're excited to be featured in Bloomberg Línea's recent article about Tumoni's mission to accelerate financial inclusion through free remittances! The 60k+ Central Americans on our waitlist (in the US and back home) will soon have access to fair financial services tailored to their needs. This wouldn't be possible without our fantastic team, partners, and trusted thesis-aligned investors. With the $2.6M raised so far, we will launch and start helping communities thrive early next year. Read the full article here (in Spanish): https://lnkd.in/dHtuzQvq Slauson & Co.

We planned on making an announcement next month ahead of New York Climate Week, but it appears the cat is out of the bag! The Aether Diamonds brand has been acquired by Grown Brilliance. Moving forward, the team formerly known as Aether will be continuing our work in the world of synthetic carbon products under the Loa Carbon banner. Same company. Same tech. Shiny new name. Our business has always been transforming renewable energy and captured CO2 into synthetic carbon products. We had an opportunity to showcase our hydrocarbon synthesis technology in a truly beautiful way and couldn't be more proud of what our team has accomplished. We made something that inspired people and, in the process, had a chance to play an infinitesimally small role in the love stories of countless happy customers. Now, we get to see our technology scale in a way that can bring lasting impact to one of the world's most interesting industries. For those not in the know, there have been some big shake-ups and considerable consolidation in the lab-grown diamond sector as of late. The work that Grown Brilliance is doing in retail innovation and strategic vertical integration positions them well to dominate this high-growth market. We look forward to collaborating with their team and supplying them with our carbon-capture synthetic methane for many years to come! What's next for Loa Carbon? Commercial-scale conversion of renewable energy and captured CO2 into e-fuels and solid carbon materials. We're starting with synthetic natural gas, high-purity methane gas products, and high-quality graphene nanoplatelets. For us, carbon capture & utilization and the energy transition are two sides of the same coin. We aim to serve as a bridge between today’s largest renewable energy sources and the mature hydrocarbon infrastructure that spans the globe. To those who helped us get this far, you have our deepest appreciation!

The New Yorker did a long-form piece sharing some of the gritty fun we've had getting Charm up and running! It gives a behind-the-scenes view of what it takes to put carbon underground: https://lnkd.in/gsVvm872 I'm super proud of the progress we've made even since Michelle visited us last summer. We've ramped up injections and deployed a whole new generation of pyrolyzers at our site in Colorado.
