If you are a deep tech startup and not making ground breaking discovery’s talking to your theory & sim folks at 1am on a weeknight about a crazy experimental result you just got, sorry you NGMI

The Future is Being Built in the City of San Francisco

SF Deep Tech Week is officially live - June 23-29th

8VC, Lowercarbon Capital, Fifty Years, Giant Step Capital, Quantonation, Draper University, and Rayyan I. Patwari with 8090 Industries.

Here's the main event lineup 🧵

SF Deep Tech Week June 23-29 is shaping up to be awesome as hell.

First round of headliner events is locked in - I'll announce Wednesday and open up the calendar for public event submission.

Let's build a science fiction future.

Super cool theory/sim comparison to experiment shooting a fusion deuteron ion beam into our Orbitron while capturing the ion orbits around the cathode rod with a special low-light camera

Micro-fusion reactors solves the Ai data center power scaling problem. Small foot print of 100x100 kWe to 10x1 MWe reactors would unleash Ai from the grid.

Time for a new era of a16z 🚀🇺🇸

Excited to invest out of our new dedicated American Dynamism fund – it's time to build 🏗️⚛️🛡️🚀🤖🛰️📡🦾⚡️

More capital 🤝 more startups 🤝 more winning 🇺🇸🚀

Fun with fusion neutrons time-of-flight measurements ⚛️😎

Me whenever I hear “electrostatics are not a viable pathway to fusion energy because Todd Rider thesis”

High-Voltage Wizard Moein Borghei at work making a run at conditioning fusion core to 300 kV

New High-Voltage feedthrough design and getting ready to try and go for lab record and Series A milestone of 300kV in a 6 cm radius fusion core. Previous record we set in our lab was 248 kV just before the holidays. 🤞💪🇺🇸

Nuclear fusion backers meet in US capital as competition with China looms reut.rs/3IMI3B0

This J-curve is absolutely bonkers we could have had multiple Tesla-scale fusion companies with that amount of investment capital.

I feel like we've been talking about extracting helium-3 from the Moon forever. Finally, someone is going to go and try.

Awesome week in the lab where we finally knocked out not one but two of our major fusion KPI’s. Been saving this for a special occasion and feels like this is it.

Cheers all!
