About
Valiidun is a Lexington, Kentucky-based direct air capture startup founded in 2022 by Seth Norat, with plans to develop large-scale DAC facilities powered by renewable energy using third-party capture technology. The company announced an angel round and hired a Chief Strategy Officer in August 2022 but has made no public announcements, funding disclosures, or site selections since. PitchBook lists only 2 employees and the company website’s most recent content remains the 2022 launch press release.
