Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Capture carbon dioxide at industrial scale

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build industrial machines that capture CO2 directly from ambient air. Our devices allow carbon to be extracted at large scale so it can be sequestered or used in industrial processes downstream. This involves complex hardware and chemical engineering to make air capture economically and operationally viable.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are split between San Francisco and Berkeley, California now, and we plan to keep the company based in the Bay Area after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Berkeley and San Francisco because that's where our technical team is and where we can tap into expertise in climate science and industrial hardware. The Bay Area provides access to talent and partners aligned with our mission.
