We're announcing our new >$150m fund 2 at @TransitionVC today. Breakthrough technologies, the AI buildout and geopolitical pressures have made it undeniable that progress within planetary boundaries runs on atoms: energy, materials, infrastructure. The polluting, extractive, wasteful systems of the old world are giving way, and the companies rebuilding the physical world are scaling faster than ever.
We have raised over $150m to back the founders building what comes next. The AI buildout and geopolitical pressures have made it undeniable that progress within planetary boundaries runs on atoms: energy, materials, infrastructure. The polluting, extractive, wasteful systems of the old world are giving way, and the companies rebuilding the physical world are scaling faster than ever. @OLIXComputing is going after compute energy bottlenecks and just hit a $1bn valuation. @UpwayShop has put 200,000 refurbished e-bikes on the road, growing revenue 30x. @Seneca_Systems is fighting wildfires with autonomous drones, and raised a $60m first round. The most ambitious founders want to build a company that matters, one that drives human progress for generations to come. They mold atoms, not just bits. Full-stack by necessity, principled by design, built to outlast them. The work is harder than traditional software, but the prize is exponentially bigger: reinventing the foundations of human prosperity. We built Transition for these founders. Fund II lets us back more, from day one. If you're building a legacy that matters, let’s chat! @davidhelgason @arihelgason @clararicard1 @KristianBranaes @jamesdacombe @Stu_Land

This week, we hosted the Energy Night together with @TransitionVC: an evening for the founders, operators, and researchers rebuilding Europe's energy system. The room reflected where the sector is heading: software-defined energy supply, AI for grid and asset operations, electrification of heat and mobility, and the next generation of European deeptech. The conversations were sharpened by a fireside between @davidhelgason from @TransitionVC and @pawell from @PointNineCap on what the Iran conflict exposed about Europe's energy security, where we lead and lag the US, lessons from scaling a complex multi-stakeholder ecosystem like Unity, and how AI is reshaping the system on both sides. We were also joined on stage by @JonSigvert from @ReelEnergy and @JoshuaKuepper from RIZM, two founders building at the frontier of the energy transition who shared candid perspectives from the ground. Excited for what's to come ⚡️

Today, I'm excited to share the launch of @Seneca_Systems. Seneca's mission is end the wildfire threat across 500 million acres in the US and allied nations by 2035. 115 million Americans live with fire risk. Fire costs our nation ~$1 trillion annually. It destroys our most precious wild spaces and natural capital. And for those of us who call the American West our home, this is personal. We must face this head on. It is time that we bring firefighters the next-generation tools that heroes deserve. Seneca is building the modern fire arsenal for the highest risk period in our history. Our first product is an autonomous, AI-powered, rapid response fire suppression drone system. We are proud to be backed with $60 million led by @caffeinatedcap and @convectivecap with participation from @firstround , @TransitionVC, @DCVC, @offlineventures, and others. There is no question that fire risk is growing. But we must innovate to be resilient. This is not a battle we can lose. Many thanks to the amazing Seneca team. Proud to be in the fight with you all. @nhfoley @billclerico @adrianaoun @johnclarkemills, @DrLoriMM, Chief Rick Balentine. And capital partners @NextViewVC @bullpencap @advanceventurepartne Advance Venture Partners, @stepstonegroup, Roar Ventures, Good Friends, @slow, @mhs Slow Ventures, MHS Capital,

Cool gig for a climate phd @TransitionVC

To all the scientists and researchers, this one’s for you! WE ARE HIRING It’s been a challenging year in this field. Many climate technologies are developed in the same labs that are currently underfunded. We believe in your invaluable contributions and would love to collaborate with you! We’re hiring at Transition. And I can say (completely unbiased 😅) that it’s a pretty special place to learn and grow

Better late than never! Last week @TransitionVC co-hosted a special event with @usv We had the writer and documentary filmmaker @AndriMagnason present an incredible speech (accompanied by the talented musician Shahzad Ismaily). Andri discussed the climate crisis. It is a difficult topic even for us who work in it daily. How can we discuss the climate crisis? “Should we draw words for discussing the earth from science, emotions, statistics, or religion? How personal and sentimental can we get? Is it possible to use exaggerated expressions of affection, cold economics, military metaphors, and complex philosophy? Right? Left? Beautiful? Ugly? Economic growth? Is the Earth an underutilized raw material or an infinite holiness? If my life is in danger, if my earth and descendants are in danger, aren’t I obligated to understand what’s at stake? What words manage to define the world?” We were glad to have a lot of our friends at the event. But we are bummed we couldn’t have everyone. However, luckily Andri has this incredible video that you could watch to get inspired. emergencemagazine.org/film/t…
