Congratulations on securing funds in your recent series B investment round.

You mentioned the "IPCC report" in the above text. Are you referring to the IPCC Sixth Assessment? I guess based on the date of this blog post, you are talking about the Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis.

I have not read this report, but IPCC has made clear for decades the need for accelerated sequestration of atmospheric CO2. Was there anything new in the report that was unexpected? Also, are there any global policy recommendations IPCC made that, if implemented, would make Loam's intellectual property commercially viable, at say, a faster time table.

I would think that your early stage investors are essentially placing bets now that policy changes will be put in place, at least across the developed world, that will incentivize agricultural carbon sequestration, which would be enabled by your IP.

Also wondering; How do you plan to defend yourselves legally from prosecution on criminal collusion and racketeering charges that may arise from executing on your current business model? There may be both criminal and civil cases made in the future making such claims that you are racketeering on taxpayers and colluding with governments and NGOs to extort payments for "carbon credits".
