A huge thank you to @Farshchi from @Lux_Capital for hosting a great fireside chat with our #ToughTech resident community, sharing insights on topics ranging from academic spin-outs to fund dynamics.

Energized today at @enginexyz coming off of a redeye meeting many superstar founders pushing the state of the art in biology to mining to compute.
Great discussion on how VC fund sizes dictate their strategy, how great companies succeed because they raise enough capital to fund their many mistakes, and how fundraising is about finding the right partner as much as it is about terms and money.

Given the long time horizons, why invest in #fusionenergy? @ktrae says, "The argument around the fusion market is whether it is a $10 trillion market or a $30 trillion market. So, the economic opportunity justifies the timeline."

Like many other #climatetech entrepreneurs, we have been affected by the SVB Bank collapse. @SublimeSystems, an SVB depositor, was founded w/ a singular purpose: to have a massive impact on global CO2 emissions. (1/10)
