Flowcarbon 在推出「女神自然代幣」失敗後向投資者退款 作者:Sarah Emerson,福布斯員工

根據《富比士》報道,由 WeWork 的 Adam Neumann 共同創立的氣候科技新創公司在多年來未能推出「Goddess Nature Token」之後,一直在悄悄向投資者退款。
Climate tech startup Flowcarbon, cofounded by WeWork’s Adam Neumann, has quietly been refunding investors after failing for years to launch its “Goddess Nature Token,” Forbes has learned.
根據《富比士》獲悉,由 WeWork 的 Adam Neumann 共同創立的氣候科技新創公司 Flowcarbon 在多年來未能推出「女神自然代幣」後,一直在悄悄向投資者退款。
Since debuting more than two years ago, the startup has struggled to realize its mission of bringing carbon credits onto the blockchain. In 2022, Flowcarbon announced it had raised $70 million in funding from investors like Andreessen Horowitz to create a new token backed 1:1 by carbon credits, certificates that companies typically buy en masse to offset their greenhouse gas emissions. Each credit represents a metric ton of carbon dioxide that has been removed or prevented from entering the atmosphere. Tokenizing them would, in theory, make it easier for anyone to participate in the carbon market, a system that some reports have claimed can do more harm than good.
自兩年多前首次亮相以來,這家新創公司一直在努力實現將碳信用額引入區塊鏈的使命。 2022 年,Flowcarbon 宣布已從Andreessen Horowitz 等投資者籌集了7000 萬美元資金,以創建一種由碳信用額1:1 支持的新代幣,企業通常會集體購買碳信用額以抵消其溫室氣體排放。每個積分代表一公噸已被清除或阻止進入大氣的二氧化碳。從理論上講,將它們代幣化將使任何人都更容易參與碳市場,一些報告聲稱這一系統弊大於利。
But in recent weeks, Flowcarbon has been issuing refunds to people who purchased its “Goddess Nature Token” and waited years for a launch that never happened. According to sources who were contacted by the company last month, Flowcarbon cited market conditions and resistance from carbon registries as the reason for returning buyers’ funds instead of continuing to hold them indefinitely. These individuals told Forbes that the company relayed this information over Zoom calls.
但最近幾週,Flowcarbon 一直在向購買其「Goddess Nature Token」並等待多年但從未發布的人發放退款。據該公司上個月聯繫的消息人士透露,Flowcarbon 將市場狀況和碳登記機構的阻力作為退還買家資金而不是繼續無限期持有資金的原因。這些人士告訴《富比士》,該公司透過 Zoom 電話轉發了這一訊息。
As part of the refund process, Goddess Nature Token purchasers were asked to sign a release including a broad waiver of claims against Flowcarbon and its affiliates, as well as confidentiality terms, according to a contract viewed by Forbes.
根據福布斯看到的一份合同,作為退款流程的一部分,Goddess Nature 代幣購買者被要求籤署一份聲明,其中包括對 Flowcarbon 及其附屬公司的索賠的廣泛放棄,以及保密條款。
Flowcarbon did not address a list of questions about the refund. It told Forbes, “It's well known that since last year we have been offering refunds to retail GNT buyers due to the industry delays, with standard and customary terms, as we continue to grow Flowcarbon as a leader in carbon finance.”
Flowcarbon 沒有回答一系列有關退款的問題。它告訴《福布斯》,“眾所周知,自去年以來,由於行業延誤,我們一直在按照標準和慣例條款向零售 GNT 買家提供退款,同時我們將繼續發展 Flowcarbon 作為碳金融領域的領導者。”
Earlier this year, Flowcarbon stopped using Discord as a communications channel, telling Forbes that “anonymous users [were] increasingly posting inappropriate content, sometimes of a graphic nature.” Spokesperson Jennifer Owens added that “Email, phone and Zoom are all much more effective for communicating directly and regularly with our audiences, as is X and LinkedIn where we are very active.” Flowcarbon does not appear to have disclosed the recent refunds on any public platform.
今年早些時候,Flowcarbon 停止使用 Discord 作為溝通管道,並告訴《福布斯》,“匿名用戶越來越多地發布不當內容,有時是圖片性質的內容。”發言人 Jennifer Owens 補充道,“電子郵件、電話和 Zoom 都可以更有效地與我們的受眾進行直接、定期的溝通,我們非常活躍的 X 和 LinkedIn 也是如此。” Flowcarbon 似乎沒有在任何公共平台上披露最近的退款情況。
Flowcarbon isn’t the only crypto-carbon project but its profile was arguably the highest, thanks to Neumann’s WeWork renown and a lineup of major backers. “Adam and Rebekah’s vision is a key part of the story and that is really what gave birth to the company,” Andreessen Horowitz general partner Arianna Simpson enthused during the $70 million Series A she led, touting Flowcarbon as “best in breed.” Also on the cap table are General Catalyst, Samsung Next, Hollywood producers Sam and Ashley Levinson and Euphoria producer Kevin Turen, who passed away last November. “There was so much demand for the presale that everyone was asked to help,” a former Flowcarbon employee told Forbes. Andreessen Horowitz did not respond to a comment request.
Flowcarbon 並不是唯一的加密碳項目,但由於 Neumann 的 WeWork 聲譽和一系列主要支持者,它的知名度可以說是最高的。 「Adam 和Rebekah 的願景是故事的關鍵部分,這就是公司誕生的真正原因,」Andreessen Horowitz 普通合夥人Arianna Simpson 在她領導的7000 萬美元A 輪融資中熱情洋溢地說道,並稱讚Flowcarbon 是“同類中最好的」。名單上的還有 General Catalyst、Samsung Next、好萊塢製片人 Sam 和 Ashley Levinson 以及去年 11 月去世的 Euphoria 製片人 Kevin Turen。 「預售的需求如此之大,以至於每個人都被要求提供幫助,」一位前 Flowcarbon 員工告訴《富比士》。安德森霍洛維茨沒有回應置評請求。
At least $38 million of that $70 million round was raised through the sale of Flowcarbon’s token, though it’s unclear if that figure includes retail buyers. Venture capital firm Fifth Wall bought $4 million worth, and did not respond to questions about whether it has also been refunded. At one point, Flowcarbon had a “requested minimum purchase amount” of $25,000 for presale participants, it told Forbes earlier this year, but insisted it was “never intended as a floor” and that many purchases were for less.
在這 7,000 萬美元的融資中,至少有 3,800 萬美元是透過銷售 Flowcarbon 代幣籌集的,不過目前還不清楚這個數字是否包括散戶買家。創投公司 Fifth Wall 購買了價值 400 萬美元的資金,但沒有回應是否已退款的問題。今年早些時候,Flowcarbon 曾向《福布斯》表示,預售參與者“要求的最低購買金額”為 25,000 美元,但堅稱這“從來沒有打算作為底線”,而且許多購買的價格都較低。
Crypto’s heyday gave rise to a number of startups looking to tokenize carbon credits: The idea was that the blockchain could make them easier to buy and sell. In traditional carbon marketplaces, credits are typically retired after purchase to redeem their emissions benefits and remove them from circulation. But in 2021, millions of retired carbon credits were tokenized by projects like Toucan and KlimaDAO, causing some of the world’s largest carbon registries — standards bodies that oversee massive offset databases — to worry their value was being counted twice. In November 2021, before Flowcarbon had even publicly launched, the prominent registry Verra cautioned against the practice.
加密貨幣的鼎盛時期催生了許多尋求將碳信用額代幣化的新創公司:他們的想法是區塊鏈可以使它們更容易買賣。在傳統的碳市場中,信用額通常會在購買後退役,以贖回其排放收益並將其從流通中刪除。但到了2021 年,數百萬退休的碳信用額被Toucan 和KlimaDAO 等項目代幣化,導致一些世界上最大的碳登記機構(監管大規模碳抵消資料庫的標準機構)擔心它們的價值被重複計算。 2021 年 11 月,在 Flowcarbon 公開推出之前,著名的註冊機構 Verra 警告不要這種做法。
The voluntary carbon market, which purportedly allows companies and individuals to cancel out their emissions footprints, grew to roughly $2 billion in 2021. But over the past few years, a series of investigations found that some of the projects supplying credits to registries like Verra had exaggerated their benefits, failed to actually remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or been linked to alleged human rights violations. A marketplace report found the value of carbon credits fell dramatically last year as a result of these claims. In May, the Biden administration announced a set of federal guidelines intended to steer buyers toward higher quality offsets.
自願碳市場據稱允許公司和個人抵消其排放足跡,到 2021 年增長到約 20 億美元。 ,未能真正消除大氣中的二氧化碳,或與涉嫌侵犯人權行為有關。一份市場報告發現,由於這些聲明,去年碳信用額的價值急劇下降。五月,拜登政府宣布了一套聯邦指導方針,旨在引導買家購買更高品質的補償。
While Flowcarbon has stated that only unretired, certified credits would back its token, meaning only token holders could claim their offsets, Verra’s announcement had a chilling effect on its launch
雖然 Flowcarbon 表示只有未退休的、經過認證的積分才會支持其代幣,這意味著只有代幣持有者才能申請抵消,但 Verra 的聲明對其發布產生了寒蟬效應
