Reading CarbonBridge’s 2026 forecast, I’m encouraged by their shift from R&D to early commercialization. Two practical lessons for founders: secure non-dilutive reimbursements or early contracts to fund operations, and start pilot-site planning well before you expect to raise. Their first product sales to Lawrence Berkeley Lab validate the path, while fundraising and pilot timing remain bottlenecks. If you’re building pilots or need introductions, send me a message. https://www.santacruzworks.org/news/carbonbridge-2026-forecast-emerging-revenues-clearing-product-salesnbsp
