Incident Details

In May 2022, WeWork founder and former CEO Adam Neumann announced he would be launching a company called Flowcarbon, which would issue “tokenized carbon credits” called “Goddess Nature Tokens” and sell them to companies looking to green up their image. The company raised $70 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz and others, at least half of which was raised through token sales.Now, Flowcarbon has reportedly been issuing refunds after the tokens have failed to materialize more than two years later. Flowcarbon has reportedly been blaming “market conditions and resistance from carbon registries” for the failure to launch, according to a report from Forbes. Flowcarbon claimed they have been offering refunds “due to industry delays” since 2023.
