My year started with A $50 Million Dollar Investment By Microsoft and a $40 Million Investment by Carlyle and Verizon Ventures

This year we started with three major announcements from our clients. One was a $50M investment by Microsoft in LanzaJet to complete construction on their biorefinery in Georgia. The other was a $40M investment by Carlyle and Verizon Ventures in Fermata Energy. This is in addition to an announcement Fermata Energy made with Electric Frog and National Grid on the success of their vehicle-to-grid project in Rhode Island. You can see a number of stories below from media all over the world, Some resulted in posting the news over the wire, while others resulted in direct to journalist (D2J) contact based on relationships we had with journalists, and new relationships we were able to build around this news.
