Beer, dry ice, and concrete all have one thing in common... they require CO2. Between demand for CO2 rising, and new gas plants taking a billion dollars to build, shortages are becoming more common. So Sonny built a modular plant the size of a fridge, making it cheaper and easier for companies to control their own supply. Will the VCs buy that a box this small can crack a problem this big?

This is The Pitch for Ventrix. Featuring investors Elizabeth Yin, Jesse Middleton, Mike Ma, Rohit Gupta, and Michelle Kwok.
