I felt extra patriotic (and informed) for a night at the @NavySEALfnd dinner this weekend. 50+ former Navy SEALs attending. Keynote by Army 4-star general and talk by Naval Special Warfare Master Chief Walter Dittmar, who gave a step-by-step narative of a simulated mission by two Navy SEALs attaching themselves to an enemy ship in the ocean. All in all: A great brief on geopolitics, especially relevant for our defense tech investments.

Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte joined @LizClaman on @FoxBusiness to discuss why nuclear is the clear solution for power in space. Nuclear has powered missions for decades through isotope systems that deliver continuous energy where others can’t. At Oklo, we’re building the systems that support both the present and the future, including our isotope test reactor that will reach criticality by July 4.

The State of WI should start working with Ridglan Farms, a troubled WI breeder of beagles for research, to rehome 2,000 dogs now to give the dogs the lives they deserve. The breeder needs a plan to protect the dogs from inhumane treatment after a settlement agreement to close their breeding business. madison.com/news/local/art…

Great meetup with industry titans @TimDraper, Tom Staudt @ARKInvest, and @CathieDWood, syncing on joint venture investments with Chase Prather in @Tesla, @SpaceX, and @oklo (plus Tim's picks: spot the tie and his @RadiantNuclear pin!) Best part: celebrating our investment in Michael Anderson at @Seagate_Space, out of the @spARKbyARK led by Becca Brown. Their mission to democratize access to venture capital for both investors and founders is one to watch. Cathie, Tom, Becca: revolutionary visionaries. See you at demo day next month, excited to meet your St. Pete founders. Side note: best video conferencing setup I've seen. Getting @DraperVC to migrate!

This is an awesome article on an amazing firm ⁦@BoostVC⁩ . Way to go Adam and Brayton. About time the world recognizes you as the top performing VC firm you are. blog.joinodin.com/p/the-frontier…

Great to have the opportunity to feature Cardano again on the Taking Stock at the NYSE Fintech TV. We need all the effort we can to bring the word out there that Cardano is open for business.

Happening Now: Animal rights activists are inside the state capitol demanding the dogs at Ridglan Farms in Dane County, Wisconsin be freed. Some are also showing the injuries they received over the weekend at the attempted break-in.

Homeless people are using dogs to test drugs for them on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California. Non-profit group Starts With One Today says dogs are being abused, thrown away, sold for drugs, neglected, and fed drugs to make sure there is no fentanyl. Animal advocates are ripping Mayor Karen Bass and other elected officials for not taking enough action. “We’re coming out here, risking our lives to help these dogs with no support from the government,” said volunteer Joey Tuccio.

@ether_fi Good job… thank you for going the extra mile on keeping the platform safe.

We’re tracking the developments around Kelp rsETH and coordinating closely with our security partners to ensure weETH remains insulated from any impact. We will take any necessary actions recommended by our security partners. More details soon.

Tomorrow It Begins. T-12 hours. Are You In?

@IOHK_Charles This is AWESOME @IOHK_Charles I love the way she runs, pure joy ! You saved a life.

This is poppy- an American Bison calf. Her mother abandoned her so we've been raising her as the ranch Mascot. Lots of bottle feeding

In my district, a beagle breeding facility called Ridglan Farms has hundreds of code violations, including serious harm to the health of the dogs, yet the NIH is still giving funding to groups that use the beagles from this facility. Today, I urged Secretary Kennedy to stop this practice.

What do a 40-year-old venture fund and a 233-year-old Wall Street institution have in common? The same portfolio companies. @WSJ on NYSE's pivot into digital assets: a ~$200M stake in @okx, $2B into @Polymarket, and a tokenized securities platform with @Securitize. @DraperVC has a hand in all three. We backed Venture Labs, which seeded Star Xu and OKX. Early in Polymarket. And in Coinbase. NYSE didn't reach 233 years playing defense. We didn't reach 40 staying comfortable. Innovation isn't a growth strategy, but a longevity one. More by @Vlajournaliste @kryshur: wsj.com/finance/curren…

Seeing so many posts about VCs not deploying.. @DraperDragon / @OrionFund are actively deploying and ready to meet with founders. If you’re building and looking to raise, reach out! Especially since the Orion Fund kickoff will happen this week during @ParisBlockWeek 😉
