This includes household names like OpenAI and SpaceX but also new companies focusing on tons of cool things like: - Next-gen micronuclear reactors - Atmospheric CO₂ removal at gigaton scale - Asteroid mining - Space-based manufacturing (fiber, alloys, pharmaceuticals) - Crazy biotech eg. wet computers based on human neurons We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world - and more people should be putting it to work.
