The VC Flight to ‘Deep Tech’ is almost certainly the wrong move for you Mr. Lazy-Narrative VC


What a day for the first-ever @DeepTechNY Summit! With 400+ attendees and 20+ speakers, one thing was abundantly clear: 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. A huge thank you to our visionary presenters, founders, investors, researchers, and partners who came together to push the boundaries of what’s possible through science and technology. Partners: @Newlab , Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, @jpmorgan , CSC Leasing, GENIUS NY, Infinite Capital, @reindsummit, Stifel Financial Corp., SVB, and @newyorkrobotics . cc: @abemurray, @valaratomics, @JeffThornburg, @extropic, @RadicalAI , @pablos






NEW POD: Valar Atomics founder and CEO Isaiah Taylor joins us to talk about why energy may be the most important bottleneck of the 21st century, and why nuclear has to scale if the U.S. wants to compete. We also covered: • Why China is building nuclear reactors at a pace the U.S. hasn’t seen since the 1950s • The real constraint on AI, robotics, and manufacturing: energy • Small modular reactors and Valar’s containerized nuclear design • Why most nuclear startups overcomplicate the problem • The case for designing reactors like Toyota Camrys, not Lamborghinis • Why production rate and scale matter more than theoretical efficiency Now available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.



REACTOR PILOT PROGRAM UPDATE ⚛️ Projects Selected: 11 ✅ PDSAs Approved: 4 (and counting) 🗓️ Days Remaining: 122 🎯 Status: ON TARGET to achieve criticality for at least 3 reactors by July 4th, 2026.

Three weeks ago, the DOE formally approved Valar Atomics' Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA) for the Ward250 reactor. We are on track for power operations before the President's target of July 4th, 2026.


"If Valar doesn't do this, China and Russia will be the world's nuclear energy source." Experts have doubted @valaratomics CEO Isaiah Taylor (@isaiah_p_taylor) every step of the way. He says every future $1 trillion company should seem a little crazy -- and that no other nuclear startup is moving fast enough to solve our energy needs 🏭 On our new episode of The Upstarts Podcast, Isaiah shares why he founded Valar as his 'life's work', why other well-funded startups have failed in nuclear, and his Upstart Moment on the road to raising $150M for new-look energy campuses called “gigasites" 🚧 “Safety is non-negotiable, but also safe and slow are not the same thing,” Taylor tells @UpstartsMediaCo. A big thanks to our podcast partner @mercury for amplifying these Upstarts stories 💪 Enjoy! youtu.be/mNFCGHFscoM
