Kita

In order to derisk carbon removal technologies and speed up their ability to scale, Kita's mission is to become the carbon insurer for the climate issue. Solutions for removing carbon from the atmosphere are needed to address the climate catastrophe. The sale of carbon units on the voluntary carbon markets provides funding for several carbon removal technologies. These units do not, however, have specific insurance coverage for their major risks, particularly under-delivery on forward contracts. This discrepancy contributes to an uncertain environment, impeding development, investment, and the ability to scale up these solutions quickly to have the necessary climatic impact. Kita uses insurance products that ensure the quality and delivery of carbon units as well as carbon removal technologies to relieve market participants of this "carbon delivery risk."

DealAnalysis

DealAnalysis, Inc. builds document intelligence with a modeling engine and memory for private capital. The platform reads any private-capital document — private placement memoranda, limited partnership agreements, credit agreements, and financial models — turns the terms into provable figures on a deterministic engine, and benchmarks them against a growing memory of the market, so an analyst can model and find the leverage: what is market, what is off-market, and what is missing. DealAnalysis serves both the GP-side (managers and their deal teams) and the LP-side (allocators, family offices, foundations and their advisors) from a single engine that spans the private-capital instrument set across three analytical tiers. Every figure is labeled as observed, estimated with a confidence range, or computed, and a person makes the final decision. The platform is built for institutional procurement and for SOC 2 Type II certification. DealAnalysis, Inc. is a Delaware C-corporation headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with research and development in London. It was co-founded by Stuart Fotheringham (CEO), a former Managing Director at Rothschild & Co, and Kevin Fletcher (CTO).
