"@BoostVC gives founders who are capable a chance to prove it" is the best VC one-liner I've heard in a long time
also it's true, imo Boost is one of the very few funds in existence that both:
> invests consistently in high-impact but idiosyncratic ideas
> can invest checks big enough to carry founders long enough to show tangible proof points of their thesis (without requiring broader investor consensus or other VC checks at all)

The US needs 1.5 terawatts of new power by 2035.
AI has scaled beyond our ability to build power and the existing power supply chain is the bottleneck
The future demands a new kind of hardware company, building a new kind of Turbine
Introducing: Stone Power @StonePowerUS
🧵1/11
Gaurab Chakrabarti@Gaurab
You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.

☢️@RadiantNuclear's factory license was accepted under 10 CFR Part 70.
That’s the license to handle nuclear fuel. The difference between a warehouse and a real reactor factory.
One of the biggest hurdles in going from demo to business 👇

“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.

Grateful to @credistick for the deep dive.
Building venture firms is a long game. This is what one fund looks like over ~10 years.

The @BoostVC team are real ones. Actual contrarians and ahead of so many trends. They deserve every bit of success.
Brayton Williams ⏻@BraytonKey
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 🚀
