Today we're thrilled to announce we just doubled down on @CruxClimate, the company building the financial backbone of the new American industrial economy.
We led the $50m Series B – and @claydumas wrote a banger of a blog about it.

Two years ago, @lowercarbon proudly put the first dollars into @CruxClimate, a financial marketplace that set out to capitalize America's energy and manufacturing superiority. Spoiler alert: it's working.
So now we’re throwing good money after good and leading their Series B.

Besides all these new products, the other thing Crux is doing with this new loot is hiring, actively. To the engineers, financiers, and product leaders, who want to help reshape America’s industrial future–your new gig is waiting: cruxclimate.com/careers

Fresh insights from @CrusoeAI's Cully Cavness on using AI to solve AI's energy demand. One example?
@AvalancheFusion harnessing AI to speed up the design and build of their compact fusion reactors.

Thrilled to help @epochbio scale their plastic-eating enzymes, turning "unrecyclable" materials into high-value inputs for customers in textiles and beyond. Congrats on the oversubscribed Series A!
How do cash-strapped municipalities fix broken roads without breaking the bank? @carbon_crusher
They use bio-binder instead of tar, for longer-lasting roads, lower costs, and less maintenance down the line. Averting up to 150 tons CO2e per mile.

Check out the pod to see how @willobri and @UlyssesEcoEng are replenishing seagrass beds, restoring ocean health, and making you wonder why no one did it sooner.
This is my conversation with Will O'Brien (@willobri), co-founder of Ulysses
@UlyssesEcoEng is building autonomous underwater drones to restore seagrass ecosystems and automate other critical tasks in the ocean.
It's here on X and everywhere else. Links in the comment. Enjoy!

When 77% of biologists can’t reproduce research, lab automation is broken. @trilobio's “built by biologists, for biologists” lab automation platform solves the problem–for faster, cheaper bio R+D. Can’t wait to see the breakthroughs their lab tech unlocks. businesswire.com/news/home/2…
Big win for @useyardstick. Their faster, cheaper, more accurate soil carbon measurement tech was just validated by Geoderma, the top soil science journal. Anyone who cares about climate, farmers, food security, or supply chain resilience, should celebrate

When @axios editor @danprimack asked Lowercarbon's @sacca to comment on the LA wildfires, Sacca did not mince words:
RT @SexyLikeMeiosis: The last few years in biotech have had us all asking, “Dude, where’s my industrial bioeconomy?” It may finally be here…
It’s happening. With @CFS_energy's announcement of the site of their first power plant, commercial fusion’s debut is around the corner. Yup, the world's first grid-scale fusion power plant is as big a deal as it sounds. cnn.com/2024/12/18/climate/w…
Instead of running from climate risk, our company @standinsurance is doubling down on resilience. Their unique tech-first approach makes properties safer, lowers premiums and will keep more owners insured. @CaieKelley lays it out in our latest blog post

Our clean-compute juggernaut @CrusoeAI just leveled up to beast mode. We're excited to see them step on the proverbial gas on their way to becoming a dominant AI data center player, with their new $600m Series D. wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-m…
Property owners rejoice. Our new insurance company @standinsurance is launching to help climate-disaster-prone areas. Lowercarbon’s @CaieKelley shows how Stand’s tech will lower premiums, keep more folks insured, and bring sanity back to insurance markets lowercarboncapital.com/2024/…
People love SolarSquare. The most trusted residential solar brand in India now has a fresh $40m Series B in the bank. We're proud to be part of the raise. And thrilled to see them expand and continue to dominate a market that likely has more roofs and more sun than anywhere else.
