Oka, The Carbon Insurance Company (Oka) Closes $10-Million in Funding
PARK CITY, Utah, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oka, The Carbon Insurance Company (Oka) has closed an $10-million investor raise that sets the foundations for its next phase of growth.
猶他州帕克城，2024年3月28日 /PRNewswire/ — Oka，碳保險公司（Oka）已經完成了1000萬美元的投資者融資，爲其下一階段的增長奠定了基礎。
Its lead investors included Aquiline Capital Partners LP and firstminute capital — which formerly spearheaded Oka's $7-million seed round — and dedicated climate-solutions investor Overview Capital. The raise also attracted the support of multiple angel investors with a vested interest in climate technology and carbon-market innovation.
其主要投資者包括 Aquiline 資本合夥人有限責任公司 和 第一分鐘資本 ——它曾是Oka700萬美元種子輪融資的牽頭人——也是專門的氣候解決方案投資者 概覽資本。此次融資還吸引了多位對氣候技術和碳市場創新有既得利益的天使投資者的支持。
Proceeds will support Oka's risk-based capital requirements and operational growth, as it underwrites through its Lloyd's syndicate-in-a-box (SIAB) Oka Syndicate 1922. In the interest of Syndicate 1922, Oka has also partnered with three reinsurance providers and secured a capital commitment from a subsidiary of NASDAQ-listed reinsurance group Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd.. Greenlight Re will participate as a capacity provider for Oka's first three years of operation.
所得款項將支持Oka基於風險的資本要求和運營增長，因爲Oka通過其勞埃德集團盒裝辛迪加（SIAB）進行承保 Oka Syndicate 1922。爲了辛迪加1922的利益，Oka還與三家再保險提供商合作，並從納斯達克上市的再保險集團的一家子公司獲得了資本承諾 綠光資本再保險有限公司。Greenlight Re將作爲產能提供商參與Oka前三年的運營。
The announcement comes on the heels of several commercial milestones for Oka.
該公告是在Oka的幾個商業里程碑之後發佈的。
Syndicate 1922 was launched in January 2024 — alongside its flagship embedded insurance solution, Carbon Protect — to meet burgeoning demand for innovative risk and quality solutions in the voluntary carbon market (VCM). Soon after, Oka unveiled a series of market-first channel partners, including carbon-credit platforms Cloverly, Oregon Biochar Solutions (OBS) and GECA Environnement (GECA).
辛迪加1922於2024年1月與其旗艦嵌入式保險解決方案碳保護一起推出，旨在滿足自願碳市場（VCM）對創新風險和質量解決方案不斷增長的需求。不久之後，Oka推出了一系列市場優先的渠道合作伙伴，包括碳信貸平台 Cloverly， 俄勒岡生物炭解決方案（OBS）和GECA環境（GECA）。
Commenting on the raise, Oka CEO Chris Slater said: "In a difficult market for venture funding and the VCM alike, we're delighted by the vote of confidence in Oka. The capital committed by our brilliant investors and capital partners puts us one step closer to realizing our ambitious vision of insuring every carbon credit. Coupled with our early customer traction, their invaluable support reinforces our thesis that insurance is the "missing piece" required to unlock transformational market scale."
Oka首席執行官克里斯·斯萊特在評論加薪時說： “在風險投資和市調機制都困難的市場中，我們對Oka的信任投票感到高興。我們優秀的投資者和資本合作伙伴投入的資金使我們離實現爲每筆碳信用提供保險的雄心勃勃的願景又近了一步。再加上我們早期的客戶吸引力，他們的寶貴支持強化了我們的論點，即保險是解鎖轉型市場規模所需的 “缺失部分”。”
