Bossier City, LA – According to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Edko is raising $47,650,000.00 in new funding. Sources indicate as part of senior management President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Vasko played a key role in securing the recent investment and it will aid in aggressively expanding the company, as well as broaden and accelerate product development.

About Edko
Many people ask us what does Edko do? Our PC answer to this question is usually, we provide vegetation management services. This response usually prompts a confused look, which we respond to with we kill stuff. To put it simply, here at Edko, we are masters of destroying unwanted plants. Back in 1961 a man named Max Edwards saw a problem and he set out to fix it. That problem was unwanted vegetation, and people were going broke trying to keep up with the maintenance and removal of those plants. At the time, mechanical removal was really the only option with farmers being the only practitioners of herbicide, which at the time was 2, 4-D. Over the next 20 years, Max would become the godfather of herbicide application as we know it today. For every new problem that a customer presented, Max found a solution. If there wasnt a solution to be found, Max invented it, creating many of the patents on herbicide application tools that are still in use today. His philosophy was to allow the customer to shape his business by their needs and to accommodate them in the most efficient and cost effective way. This is the definition of service. Its this dedication to service that has helped us to maintain contracts for as long as 40 years. Today, under the leadership of Mike Vasko, Edko has continued that same simple philosophy of being presented with a problem and providing a solution. Our customers still continue to shape our business as it pertains to the types of services we provide, how we execute those services, down to how we bill them for those services. Thats just what we do.

TAE Technologies, the leading fusion energy company developing the cleanest and safest approach to commercial fusion power, today announced that it has raised more than $150 million in its latest funding round, exceeding the company’s initial target for the round. Chevron, Google and NEA participated in the round, among other new and existing investors. TAE has the option to raise additional capital as part of this funding round. With more than $1.3 billion in equity capital raised since inception, this latest fundraise further validates TAE’s distinctive approach to commercial fusion.

In a statement Michl Binderbauer, CEO of TAE Technologies, said: “Fusion has the potential to transform the energy landscape, providing near-limitless clean power at a time when the world’s energy needs are growing exponentially due to the growth of AI and data centers. TAE’s technology uses the soundest physics to deliver superior performance in a compact machine, with attractive economics and best-in-class maintainability. We are leading the charge to develop revolutionary fusion technology for full-scale commercial deployment.”

TAE was founded in 1998 to develop commercial fusion power with the cleanest environmental profile. The company has established itself as a leader in an industry that has the potential to transform the energy economy. Since 2014, TAE and Google Research have worked together to accelerate fusion science using cutting-edge machine learning. Google engineers worked onsite at TAE facilities to co-develop advanced plasma reconstruction algorithms, leading to significantly improved plasma lifetime and performance. Fusion is nature’s preferred source of energy. It is the same process that powers the sun and stars, and it is what makes life viable on Earth. When lighter elements fuse under immense heat and pressure, they form new elements and release a tremendous amount of energy. This process is safer than conventional nuclear power because fusion can be stopped at any time – eliminating the risk of a power plant meltdown. TAE remains singularly committed to advancing the frontiers of science and innovation to benefit humanity. With a steadfast resolve to redefine the energy landscape, TAE Technologies is at the forefront of the fusion revolution, poised to usher in a new era of sustainable and limitless power generation for a better tomorrow.

The investment is aimed at supporting certification and commercial production of Joby’s electric air taxi.

Flying with Joby might feel more like getting into an SUV than boarding a plane. The company's aerial ridesharing service will combine the ease of conventional ridesharing with the power of flight.
