We’ve backed @kasada_io since 2019, long before AI agents reshaped the internet. Their recent $30M raise (now $300M valuation) shows just how critical their tech has become. 🔐
As billions of AI agents crawl the web, Kasada gives companies control over which agents access their data, protecting digital infrastructure across retail, defence, and more. With 90% of revenue from the US, their impact is global. 🌏

We talk a lot about the “unreasonable belief” needed to build deep tech, and the new @StartupMuster 2025 data shows exactly what that looks like.
🧪 Bigger bets: Deep tech founders are targeting $5B markets (vs $2.8B ecosystem median).
💰 Harder journey: 78% need external capital to survive, you can’t bootstrap a pilot plant or a quantum computer.
📉 Room to grow: Deep tech makes up just 19% of Aussie startups vs 36% in the US.
As @philmorle puts it: “The world needs more deep tech, and Australia has the opportunity to build it if we match founder ambition with capital, infrastructure and urgency.”

BIG news for quantum! ✨ Our portfolio company @diraqQC has advanced to Stage B of @DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI).
This is a huge validation for their approach to building a useful quantum computer by 2033. Their secret? Leveraging existing silicon chip factories. 📱
🔗darpa.mil/research/programs/…
Why is manufacturing in existing silicon fabs so important? Building a truly useful quantum computer will need millions of qubits. Leveraging the $50 years and trillions of dollars invested in the semiconductor industry is the most viable path to achieve that massive scale.
