  • STAX Engineering, Inc.

    Participated · Debt Financing · Feb 2025

    STAX Engineering designs and operates a patented, flexible barge-based exhaust capture system that connects to ship stacks from the water to capture and filter emissions without vessel modification or berth-specific infrastructure. Its system is authorized by CARB for container ships, auto carriers, and tankers and is reported to remove up to 99% of particulate matter and 95% of nitrogen oxides. STAX began tanker service testing in early 2025, has supported tanker operations in Southern California since 2024, and has completed over 2,700 vessel calls totalling more than 46,000 treated hours and capturing over 350 tons of pollutants. Recent commercial agreements with IMTT and TransMontaigne expand its Northern California footprint and are expected to support more than 6,400 at-berth service hours through 2031. The company plans to scale deployments across California’s ports to meet demand ahead of CARB’s 2027 tanker compliance deadline. Its current financial position was strengthened by the $150 million financing commitment from Bain Capital to refinance existing debt and fund contracted builds through 2027.

FeelBetter has raised $11.5 million from grants and investors to date and is actively seeking Series A funding. The firm says it is expanding its global footprint and plans to partner with more U.S.-based health systems to pursue broader adoption of its population- and individual-level solution.

    Baibys has developed an autonomous sperm selection system for in‑vitro fertilization that analyzes living sperm cells in real time using machine vision and artificial intelligence. The platform evaluates cells by high‑magnification morphological criteria and recognizes structures in motion to assess quality. It then autonomously selects and collects sperm with the highest fertilization potential for microinjection into the egg during IVF procedures. The company says the system relies on state‑of‑the‑art AI algorithms to apply previously established selection criteria. Baibys plans to use newly raised capital to expand operations, advance development efforts, and broaden its business reach. The team includes chairman Itay Itzhaky, CEO Dr. Yaron Silberman, co‑founder & co‑CEO Gal Golov, co‑founder & CMO Dr. Nino Guy Cassuto, and senior R&D and regulatory leaders.
