Boost VC

My lifes work is believing in people. Pretty lucky to get to do it with such a great team @BoostVC Thanks for understanding what we do @credistick. A great understanding of what we are, and what we do.

“If we believe something that the rest of the investment world doesn’t, that is a scarce resource and we must act.” If Stan Lee had written a venture capital firm into the Marvel universe, he might have picked @BoostVC. For over a decade, @AdamDraper and @BraytonKey have executed their unconventional strategy, making investments in the boldest ideas from science fiction at a radical pace and scale. As a result, they have consistently been early to technological and scientific breakthroughs, becoming an invaluable partner to the most ambitious founders and assembling a mighty network in the process. To illustrate, here's what a few of their portfolio companies are working on at the moment: - Jet packs - Dire Wolves - Space robots - Nuclear power - Cryptocurrency - Brain interfaces - Biohybrid brains - Electric hydrofoils - Enormous satellites The exceptional performance of their 2016 debut fund (which included investments in @coinbase, Bitcoin and @moltbook) speaks for itself.

Big news from @StarfishSpace! @BoostVC was the first investor in 2020. Just months after covid started. When in-person, high capex, & going to space was far from popular. @AustinLink, Trevor and team persevered and the market is catching up to the future they saw back then 🚀

Big news: we just closed a $100M+ Series B. This funding will go toward building and operating our Otter missions, scaling to meet growing customer demand, and expanding our team. We've had a lot to celebrate lately, from missions like Remora and Otter Pup 2 to new contracts with great customers like SDA and the Space Force. And we're just getting started. Our first full Otter mission is on track to fly later this year. Read our full press release: starfishspace.com/press-release/… We’d like to thank our investors for helping us build the future of infrastructure in space. @p72vc, @ShieldCapVC, @IndustriousVC, @nightdragon

⚠️ NOT an April’s Fools’ post‼️ Today is @RadiantNuclear’s 1st day of our 1-yr residency in @NRICnuclear’s DOME. Our robust partnership with NRIC, @INL and @GovNuclear is vital, as we startup Kaleidos, achieve criticality, and operate at full power this summer!

We’re excited to share that @LockheedMartin has joined us on our mission to mass-produce portable nuclear reactors. This strategic investment further oversubscribes Radiant’s current financing round and adds decades of defense expertise to our team of investors and partners. Lockheed Martin's investment, combined with the almost half a billion dollars we raised last year, reflects our relentless focus on the mission and deepening confidence from both financial and strategic partners in our commercialization strategy. Today's news comes one week after our PDSA was approved by @ENERGY, six weeks since we became the first nuclear startup to generate electric power, seven weeks since we announced our Series D, two months since our first pressure vessel arrived at our headquarters in El Segundo, and a little over three months since we announced we'll build our first factory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. All this comes ahead of startup of our first reactor this summer at @NRICnuclear's DOME facility at @INL.

Just raised $5.1M to build agents as fully autonomous founders. @feltsensefund is backed by @MattPRD (founder of @moltbook) along with the founders of @crunchbase and @joinrepublic, and VCs like @DraperVC, @PrecursorVC, and @Liquid2V. You're already using products our agents built. Thread on what we learned last year 🧵
