Thanks for the synthesized fuel, @CJHandmer / @TerraformIndies

We have wearables to track our cardio and sleep. We have CGMs to track our metabolic health. But when it comes to our daily gut health, hydration, and urinary health, we've been completely in the dark. Today, that changes. Listen to your gut, with Throne.

This will change the way we experience sports forever -- watching the game from a gods eye view. Arcturus is building 4D gaussian splatting tech that can capture every angle of a sporting event and pushes the bar for volumetric video. I tested this in a headset and it makes 360 and 3D 180 video look ancient. This puts you closer to the action than any stadium seat, and it’s genuinely mind blowing.

MATERIAL has raised a $7.1M Seed round and is executing a $1.25M Phase II SBIR contract with the U.S. Air Force to rethink how energy is made. For too long, product design has been dictated by the battery. MATERIAL is making energy adaptable to the product, unlocking new freedom in performance, endurance, and design. This is just the beginning. Press Release: material.inc/material-unleas…

One of the coolest companies we’ve backed at @myelinvc is finally coming out of stealth. @becoming_ai launches today. If we can predict how organisms change over time, it changes everything: medicine, aging, and treating disease at the root. Congrats @divyacohen and team!

How do we go from a single cell to a complex organism? For 50 yrs experimentally meeting the nutritional demands of a growing organism has been a bottleneck in development. For the first time, we built placental support and predictive tools to make it possible. Watch ↓

I could not be more thrilled to share that Throne closed a $4M seed round led by @KatieS at @MoxxieVentures… AND that we’ve been joined by a third co-founder, @JohnCapodilupo, Chief Product Officer. Prior to Throne, John was co-founder and CTO of @WHOOP. He is also a very public advocate for IBD, as he has ulcerative colitis and sits the board of trustees for the @CrohnsColitisFn. Between his professional experience building WHOOP and his personal experience with a chronic digestive disease, there just isn’t a more perfect person on Earth. I gotta extend a very heartfelt THANK YOU 🙌 to Katie and John, ofc, and also to the many others who have supported us along the way — @TaraViswanathan, @jwmares, @lancearmstrong, @mikenemke, @swerdlin, @ericbahn, @MatiasNisenson, @nickcandito, @carterkev, @brian_blum1, @Austen, @Milankordestani, @brettrjackson and many others. @ThroneScience is the most important thing I’ve ever worked on. I sincerely believe this device will improve health and one day save lives. I am so lucky to get to wake up each day and work on something I love and believe in — I wouldn’t get to do it without your support. Thank you. 🙏

The best part about fundraising is when it ends and I can get back to building. This raise marks the end of just working on engines and the start of building airplanes — couldn’t be more excited

I am in Palo Alto with time to see founders for early stage investments. DM me!
