🔋 When Northvolt filed for bankruptcy in November, it said it would run out of cash in January.
It says it's now extended its runway (but won't say by how much) and it's still in need of long term funding.

Gotta love the @FT's offshoot, sifted❣️
Octopus & Kraken recently released our financial results - but @FPratty really dug into the detail, and identified the real strength in our management team, overlooked by all other financial reporters...

🐙 Someone recently described Octopus Energy to me as an opportunity for investors to get in on "an expensive utility company or a cheap tech company."
The tech company, Kraken, is growing fast and looks set to one day spin out entirely from Octopus.

What's next now Northvolt's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy?
Filing for Chap. 11 gives it access to $245m to keep operations going until early next year. It'll now work to restructure and bring in new financing, meaning a captable re-write.

So, like, reporters?
News should come from the people.
From those actually on the scene and those who actually are subject-matter experts!
