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.

据报道，WeWork 前首席执行官 Adam Neumann 的气候技术初创公司 Flowcarbon 在未能兑现将碳信用额纳入区块链的承诺后，将向投资者提供退款。

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.

据《福布斯》报道，过去一个月，该初创公司“Goddess Nature Token”的买家已收到退款事宜，只要他们签署保密协议并放弃对 Flowcarbon 及其附属公司的任何索赔。

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，它已从 Andreesen Horowitz、Samsung Next 和 Invesco (IVZ) 等支持者那里筹集了至少 3200 万美元。至少 3800 万美元来自 Goddess Nature Token 的销售。

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.

这些代币原计划相当于碳信用额，或者是公司集体购买以抵消温室气体排放的证书。每个积分代表已被清除或阻止进入大气的一公吨二氧化碳。特斯拉（TSLA）等公司通过将这些积分出售给壳牌和雪佛龙等公司，获得了数十亿美元的收入。

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 的投资者包括风险投资和技术领域的一些知名人士。 A16Z、Samsung Next 和 Invesco 等公司去年参与了 Flowcarbon 的 A 轮和 A-1 轮融资。

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.

总部位于纽约的 Flowcarbon 告诉《福布斯》，“众所周知”，该公司自去年以来一直以市场状况和行业延误为由提供退款。

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 的碳智能峰会定于本月晚些时候举行。演讲者包括该初创公司的首席商务官、碳银行和市场主管、联席首席执行官 Dana Gibber 和 Caroline Klatt、国会议员 Ritchie Torres 以及一些商业和技术领袖。

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.

不要将 Flowcarbon 与 Flow 混淆，Flow 是 Neumann 的其他企业之一，也得到了 a16z 的支持。 Flow 是一家估值 10 亿美元的住宅房地产公司，正在佛罗里达州迈阿密开发一个综合用途项目。

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.

诺伊曼于 5 月放弃了以 6.5 亿美元收购 WeWork 的出价，并批评该公司摆脱破产重生的计划。 2019 年，在有关公司治理不善、过度支出和鲁莽文化的报道曝光后，WeWork 投资者软银向诺伊曼支付了数亿美元，要求其放弃控制权并离开该公司。
