✓Top strengths

  • The solution slide gives investors specific benchmarks on conversion, permanence, energy use, water use, and capture cost.
  • The deck identifies large industrial, technology, and government buyer segments in a rapidly growing carbon-removal market.

!Critical improvements

  • Show the engineering and economic path from the current prototype to a commercially relevant capture facility.
  • Add a competitive landscape comparing CarbonVault with direct air capture, mineralisation, and lower-cost carbon-removal alternatives.
  • State the funding ask and tie it to measurable technical, commercial, and verification milestones.
