What happened

No lead identified. Banyu issued no release of its own, so the date rests on the University of Washington notice and on trade press coverage running 13 to 17 February 2024.

Kumo note

An airline venture arm backing marine carbon removal at seed stage, with a Frontier pre-purchase already signed the previous September, so the capital was raised against a demand signal rather than ahead of one.
