Which is just about enough for me to make sense to show him my next business plan, regardless of whether he funds it or not. PS. We first met at DFJ business plan competition which was promoting what later became Skype Video. We were finalists but are doing a different startup now.

Exploding demand and unpredictable supply have made blackouts increasingly common. This costs the economy more than $150B a year, a number that could 10x in the next five years. Mohak Mangal and team founded Pravāh to help fix it. Their platform helps utilities and grid operators make real-time decisions on load, generation, and congestion, reducing blackout risks, optimizing power procurement, and bringing much-needed stability to the backbone of modern life. We’re proud to support the Pravāh team as they take on one of the toughest and most important infrastructure challenges of our time. 804 23 条评论Matt Wachter Barber National Institute • 3692 位关注者I’m lucky to work alongside colleagues like Richard Fruehauf, who constantly push my thinking. His latest piece unpacks why U.S. robotics and drone manufacturing faces uphill economics, and how public policy can help turn the tide. One key takeaway: 232 tariffs on robotics imports could help reset the economics that are holding back U.S. investment and production. It’s a sharp perspective on how policy can shape the future of advanced tech here at home. Well worth a read: https://lnkd.in/edMPTQPQ Richard Fruehauf, Robert J.

BrightAI just raised $51 million to automate inspection and other hardware-based AI capabilities. As Alexa von Tobel, co-founder of Inspired Capital put it: “So many people are so focused on the future of digital AI, but we’re excited about this new layer of AI: the physical world AI.” We are in the early innings of a series of AI-fueled innovations! https://lnkd.in/enhmafvH 47Neal Ghosh 9point8 Collective • 3184 位关注者Trying something new this week - a studio industry roundup with my take on what matters. The studio model is no longer an experiment being run in a handful of places. It is infrastructure being built across geographies, sectors, and institutional types. 5️⃣ stories from the past seven days:  1️⃣ OSS Ventures hit a EUR 40M first close on a EUR 75M follow-on fund -- capital raised specifically to back the 30 companies their studio created since 2019. The "build then fund" lifecycle is maturing. B'More Venture Studio with a similar thesis: studio operations first, then dedicated capital to scale what's working.  2️⃣ Delta40 raised $20M from 54 investors across 13 countries to launch Africa's first integrated venture studio and fund. The LP base is almost entirely DFIs and foundations. Impact capital is discovering the studio model as a deployment vehicle, something I seeing across geographies (conversations with Michael Bob Starr and Damias McDonald this week alone) 3️⃣ Start Holdings launched Start.vc out of NYC and Barcelona after a $200M EV infrastructure exit. Another operator-turned-studio-founder. This is the pattern we see quite often in our work at 9point8 -- experienced operators like Jason Goldsmith who've built and exited deciding the studio model is how they want to build next.  4️⃣ UBC HATCH admitted 10 new deep-tech spinouts for Winter 2026 -- mostly climate tech. University venture builders are quietly becoming one of the fastest-growing segments. Follow Evan Allen and Jaimie Testai to keep track of its rapid evolution.  5️⃣ The INVEST Act is advancing through the Senate. If passed, it expands qualifying VC fund size from $10M to $50M and loosens general solicitation rules for accelerator and university events. For studio-funds -- and for folks in the The Venture Studio Forum community tracking policy -- this could be the most significant capital formation legislation since the JOBS Act. If this roundup format is useful, I'll keep it going. What other noteworthy news hit your desk this week, and what stood out to you? 13 1 条评论Edmund Truell Global Interconnection Group • 5892 位关注者Thrilled to share this landmark announcement from Global Interconnection Group (GIG).

In our latest GovAI podcast, I sat down with Chris McMasters, CIO of Corona, California. After nearly two decades in the private sector, Chris made the leap into government—driven by a sense of purpose to serve. Our conversation tackled a big question: why does government often lag in adopting new technologies like AI? Chris explained it’s not about chasing the latest tech—it’s about protecting the people they serve and ensuring any new tool actually makes a difference. The key? Build trust first, then show—not tell—how technology can help. Chris believes AI won’t replace people—it’ll free them to focus on what humans do best. His vision: a future where city services are as seamless as ordering from Amazon, with AI agents removing the red tape. For anyone working in GovTech, or trying to break in, you'll learn a lot from this conversation. 🔗 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dzNed-ZP or listen here: https://lnkd.in/dhpwW_-8 21Lior Susan Eclipse • 3万 位关注者🚀 Companies that innovate in physical industries move through three phases: research, development, and industrial scale. Research and development are critical, but at the end of the day, what truly matters is our ability to scale-to take innovation out of the lab and into the real world. That’s where impact happens. In defense, energy, manufacturing, construction, mining, and other foundational industries, scaling determines whether a breakthrough becomes a prototype or transforms entire sectors. At Eclipse, we’re focused on that last mile: industrial scale. It’s where our experience, time, and energy go, because scaling innovation is what drives real progress for the country and the world. 135 4 条评论Edoardo Zarghetta 3964 位关注者🚀Initiation of Coverage Agility Robotics 🚀 We’ve initiated coverage on Agility Robotics for IPO CLUB’s flagship fund, America2030, within the robotics sector covered by me, with the help of Helen Zhou. Headquartered in Corvallis, Oregon, the company builds bipedal humanoid robots designed to operate in human-centric environments. Its mission is to solve labor shortages and automate dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks across logistics and manufacturing. 🔍Why we like Agility Robotics Commercial first-mover advantage: Achieved the industry’s first revenue-generating humanoid deployment with GXO Logistics, Inc., proving real-world value while competitors remain in pilot mode. Differentiated biomimetic technology: The Digit platform uses dynamic bipedal locomotion, passive dynamics, and a unique backward-leg design for efficient, human-like mobility across stairs, cables, and uneven terrain. Manufacturing scale readiness: The RoboFab facility in Salem— the world’s first dedicated humanoid robot factory—gives Agility a production runway toward 10,000 units/year, a 12–18 month lead over peers. 💡Notable Investors DCVC, Playground Global, WP Global Partners, Amazon, Schaeffler,Sony, SoftBank Investment Advisers, MFV Partners, TDK Ventures ⚔️ Competitive Landscape Primary competitors include Figure, Tesla, Apptronik, Boston Boston Dynamics, and Sanctuary AI. Agility differentiates through logistics-first commercialization, proven deployments, and factory-scale readiness, while others emphasize demos, internal R&D, or general-purpose manipulation capabilities. 🌍 With hundreds of robots planned for production in 2025 and RoboFab scaling toward 10,000 units annually, Agility is emerging as one of the most commercially advanced humanoid companies globally. By focusing on brownfield automation and real-world logistics workflows, it is building the backbone of next-generation warehouse automation and mobile manipulation. #Robotics #Automation #Humanoids #LogisticsTech #DeepTech #VentureCapital #America2030 11 1 条评论Sriram Viswanathan Celesta Capital • 1万 位关注者Important collaboration between India Deep Tech Alliance (IDTA) and Polsky Center at the University of Chicago to extend a collaboration with Indian Deep Tech Startups.

Seth has been in venture for 25 years, built Foundry from scratch as an emerging manager himself, and has backed about 50 emerging manager funds through his fund of funds. He has genuinely seen every side of this table. They went deep on building Foundry, why VCs are in the influence business, not the decision business, and why the concentration problem in venture is not only bad for LPs, but also for the innovation ecosystem overall. And why Seth's new book, Capital Evolution, is so important for the future of America. 🎧 Links to listen...

Led by Matineh Eybpoosh and Julian Lamy, Powerline is solving the most critical bottleneck of the energy transition: the "Intelligence Gap." As global energy demand surges, the grid requires capacity that is both faster to deploy and hyper-efficient to operate. Powerline is proving that the answer lies in software-driven intelligence. Their AI platform — the Battery Co-Pilot™ — radically improves the unit economics of energy storage, converting batteries from passive backup into high-yield financial assets. They are already delivering measurable results across the energy lifecycle: Existing Installations: Retrofitting "brownfield" battery portfolios with an intelligence layer that captures missed revenue and manages market volatility. New Deployments: Providing the digital testbeds needed to scale global fleets with institutional precision, significantly shortening the path to ROI. Legacy Displacement: Delivering a cost-effective alternative to polluting "peaker-plants," which can cost up to $200/MWh more than an optimized Powerline fleet. While solar-plus-storage is now consistently 20-30% cheaper than new-build gas, the real victory is in how that hardware is managed. At J-Impact Fund, we focus on the massive value creation that occurs when technology turns energy scarcity into abundance. By shifting the grid from a model of expensive, finite fuel to one of persistent, harvested power, we unlock superior financial upside. For us, deep decarbonization is the inevitable byproduct of this superior economic model. Congratulations to Matineh, Julian, and the entire team—we are proud to be on this journey with you. #EnergyStorage #AIOptimization #VentureCapital #AssetManagement #SeriesSeed #FinancialAlpha 32 2 条评论Satish Mehta IIT ALUMNI COUNCIL • 3万 位关注者Venture Capital has to reinvent itself for ai. Ai ventures need very little capital for core technology and “coal power plant like”funding for infrastructure. Both don’t work for the current Vc model. Sandhill Road venture capital is in dire straits. Their playbook which is borrowed from Hollywood depends on a Hollywood studio type concentration of power. In place of Warner brothers, fox, universal, Disney etc they created Microsoft, meta, Google, Amazon etc. And then Netflix came along and ate the lunch of the studios disrupting the industry with an integrated model which eliminated all intermediaries and offered an “eat all you can”. Now if an AI super app from India were to do the same to all foundational models - it would eliminate all hope of recovering the Rs 2,000 crore pa salary packages doing the rounds of the valley. Venture Capital was about creating hype - multiple firms backing one horse - and that horse then buying everyone that mattered. Microsoft did that and then the others followed. The playbook was kill or acquire. And hire lots of lobbyists for regulatory capture. And criminals if required. That playbook is no longer going to work. For the past decade, Indian venture capital has chased billion-dollar outcomes. Unicorns became the scoreboard. But economies are not built by a few giant explosions. They are built by millions of small pops. The ten or twelve venture capital companies that do popcorns are quiet and hidden. They generate a return on investment more than drugs or prostitution. And have no need for external capital. The others are all smoke with little fire. And are desperately looking to offload their overpriced purchases. The unsuspecting retail investor is one Guinea pig. Unicorn investing concentrates capital into a tiny number of companies. Popcorn investing spreads capital across thousands of ₹10 crore, ₹50 crore, ₹200 crore businesses. The former creates valuations and bubbles. The latter creates employment and sustainable businesses. A single unicorn may employ 3,000 people. But 100,000 smaller companies employing 10 people each create 1 million jobs. That is the scale India actually needs. More importantly, popcorn companies build real capability — manufacturing firms, component suppliers, specialized engineering companies, regional service providers. These businesses rarely reach billion-dollar valuations. But they form the industrial backbone of a nation. They spawn an ecosystem. Germany did not rise on unicorns. China did not start with tech giants. It started with thousands of small factories. The United States did not become an innovation powerhouse through a handful of startups, but through decades of dense entrepreneurial layers. Unicorns are peaks. Popcorn is the mountain. India’s future will not be determined by how many billion-dollar companies it creates, but by how many hundred-crore profitable companies it produces. We don’t need more unicorn hunters. We need more popcorn makers. 88Bilal Zuberi Red Glass Ventures • 6万 位关注者Chatting with ZEDEDA CEO, Said Ouissal, and he has an elegant way of explaining the evolution of industrial Edge. Zededa provides OS for orchestrating Edge AI. 2010s were about IoT/Edge Connectivity. 2020s were about Edge computing/processing. 2030s will be all about Edge AI. 36 4 条评论Taylor Black Microsoft • 7908 位关注者Sharp insight here—AI accelerates our creation of possibilities but leaves us swamped at the gates of decision-making. I've explored similar ground in my Substack posts, especially drawing on Bernard Lonergan’s transcendental imperatives, where human insight and judgment remain irreplaceable even as generative tools scale productivity. Our future isn't just producing more, faster—it's redesigning how we discern meaning at AI-driven velocity. How do we design for better decision making? https://lnkd.in/grgKZc22 10 2 条评论Tim Draper 爱多拉多山, CATim Draper 汉诺威, NHTim Draper 坎伯兰, RITim Draper 圣乔治, UT查看其他姓名为Tim Draper的会员加入领英，查看完整档案关于无障碍模式用户协议隐私政策Cookie 政策版权政策品牌政策访客设置社区准则《用户协议》《隐私政策》《Cookie 政策》忘记密码立即加入《用户协议》《隐私政策》《Cookie 政策》
