What happened

Individual investor Gideon Yu excluded as a provider, consistent with house treatment of named individuals. X, the moonshot factory is the lab the company was spun out of and is not an investor; Alphabet is.

Kumo note

280 Earth closed its Series B on the same day it announced its first plant was operating, so the capital sits behind a running asset rather than a plan. Its former parent Alphabet stayed on the cap table through the spinout.
