The announcement comes on the heels of several commercial milestones for Oka.
该公告是在Oka的几个商业里程碑之后发布的。
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于2024年1月与其旗舰嵌入式保险解决方案碳保护一起推出，旨在满足自愿碳市场（VCM）对创新风险和质量解决方案不断增长的需求。不久之后，Oka推出了一系列市场优先的渠道合作伙伴，包括碳信贷平台 Cloverly， 俄勒冈生物炭解决方案（OBS）和GECA环境（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首席执行官克里斯·斯莱特在评论加薪时说： “在风险投资和市调机制都困难的市场中，我们对Oka的信任投票感到高兴。我们优秀的投资者和资本合作伙伴投入的资金使我们离实现为每笔碳信用提供保险的雄心勃勃的愿景又近了一步。再加上我们早期的客户吸引力，他们的宝贵支持强化了我们的论点，即保险是解锁转型市场规模所需的 “缺失部分”。”
