據報道，WeWork 前執行長 Adam Neumann 的 Flowcarbon 在未能兌現承諾後向投資者退款

根據《富比士》報道，該新創公司「Goddess Nature Token」的買家在過去一個月已收到退款事宜，只要他們簽署保密協議並放棄對 Flowcarbon 及其附屬公司的任何索賠。

Former WeWork CEO Adam Neumann's climate tech startup Flowcarbon is reportedly offering refunds to investors after failing to deliver on its promises to put carbon credits on the blockchain.

據報道，WeWork 前執行長 Adam Neumann 的氣候科技新創公司 Flowcarbon 在未能兌現將碳信用額納入區塊鏈的承諾後，將向投資者提供退款。

Buyers of the startup's “Goddess Nature Token” have been contacted about getting refunds over the past month, as long as they sign a confidentiality agreement and waive any claims against Flowcarbon and its affiliates, according to Forbes.

根據《富比士》報道，過去一個月，該新創公司「Goddess Nature Token」的買家已收到退款事宜，只要他們簽署保密協議並放棄對 Flowcarbon 及其附屬公司的任何索賠。

In 2022, Flowcarbon said it had raised at least $32 million from backers like Andreesen Horowitz, Samsung Next and Invesco (IVZ). At least $38 million came from sales of the Goddess Nature Token.

Flowcarbon 表示，2022 年，它已從 Andreesen Horowitz、Samsung Next 和 Invesco (IVZ) 等支持者那裡籌集了至少 3,200 萬美元。至少 3800 萬美元來自 Goddess Nature Token 的銷售。

The tokens had been planned to be the equivalent of a carbon credit, or a certificate that companies buy en-masse to offset their greenhouse gas emissions. Each credit represents a metric ton of carbon dioxide that has been removed or stopped from entering the atmosphere. Companies like Tesla (TSLA) have brought in billions of dollars in revenue by selling those credits to firms like Shell and Chevron, among others.

這些代幣原計劃相當於碳信用額，或是公司集體購買以抵消溫室氣體排放的證書。每個積分代表已被清除或阻止進入大氣的一公噸二氧化碳。特斯拉（TSLA）等公司透過將這些積分出售給殼牌和雪佛龍等公司，獲得了數十億美元的收入。

Flowcarbon's investors included some of the biggest names in venture capital and technology. A16Z, Samsung Next and Invesco were among the firms that participated in Flowcarbon's Series A and A-1 funding rounds last year.

Flowcarbon 的投資者包括風險投資和技術領域的一些知名人士。 A16Z、Samsung Next 和 Invesco 等公司去年參與了 Flowcarbon 的 A 輪和 A-1 輪融資。

Flowcarbon, which is based in New York, told Forbes that it was “well known” that it has been offering refunds since last year, citing market conditions and industry delays.

總部位於紐約的 Flowcarbon 告訴《福布斯》，“眾所周知”，該公司自去年以來一直以市場狀況和行業延誤為由提供退款。

Flowcarbon's Carbon Smart Summit is set for later this month. Speakers include the startup’s chief business officer, head of carbon banking and markets, co-CEOs Dana Gibber and Caroline Klatt, Congressman Ritchie Torres, and a number of business and tech leaders.

Flowcarbon 的碳智慧高峰會定於本月稍後舉行。演講者包括該新創公司的首席商務官、碳銀行和市場主管、聯合執行長 Dana Gibber 和 Caroline Klatt、國會議員 Ritchie Torres 以及一些商業和技術領袖。

Flowcarbon is not to be confused with Flow, one of Neumann's other ventures that is also backed by a16z. Flow, a residential real-estate company that has been valued at $1 billion, is working on a mixed-use project in Miami, Florida.

不要將 Flowcarbon 與 Flow 混淆，Flow 是 Neumann 的其他企業之一，也得到了 a16z 的支持。 Flow 是一家估值 10 億美元的住宅房地產公司，正在佛羅裡達州邁阿密開發一個綜合用途項目。

Neumann in May dropped his dropped his $650 million bid to take back WeWork and criticized the company's plan to re-emerge from bankruptcy. In 2019, WeWork investor Softbank paid Neumann hundreds of millions to give up control and leave the firm after reports emerged of corporate misgovernance, excessive spending, and a reckless culture.

諾伊曼於 5 月放棄了以 6.5 億美元收購 WeWork 的出價，並批評該公司擺脫破產重生的計劃。 2019 年，在相關公司治理不善、過度支出和魯莽文化的報道曝光後，WeWork 投資者軟銀向諾伊曼支付了數億美元，要求其放棄控制權並離開該公司。
