What happened

Khosla Ventures led and stated this was its first direct air capture investment. Aramco Ventures is not in this round; it led the 2025 Series A.

Kumo note

Khosla Ventures made its first direct air capture investment here, saying it had screened around sixty startups before committing. The bet is on passive capture, which moves the cost problem from energy to land and materials handling.
