β’οΈ Nuclear reactors
π« Organoids and improved IVF
πͺ Next gen sawmills
βοΈ Drone swarms
π¦Ύ Surgical robots
π Industrial scale batteries
Weβve backed all of these, and plenty more companies that donβt fit into neat categories.
Weβre hyper curious; drawn to difficult, underexplored areas; and always up for a deep dive.
Unlocking societyβs potential depends on founders willing to build what others wonβt.
If youβre building something that others canβt, we want to work with you.
