Today, we are unveiling @hyperion__cap, an investment firm built to be the best strategy partner for deeptech founders. Again and again, we heard from these founders that venture capital has been failing them, even as more deeptech funds entered the market in recent years. Too many deeptech VCs lack a real command of industry history, hardware unit economics, go-to-market, and engineering nuance. Instead of rigorously evaluating complex frontier technologies, they often pass with vague references to “science risk." They overlook exceptional founders outside usual elite networks and concentrate capital based on pedigree, reducing their thinking to hand-wavy “founder bets." These VCs then prioritize promotion and social media over delivering real value to founders. In this world, LPs are also losing. And more of them continue to be disappointed by the lack of rigor that their deeptech GPs bring to evaluating these startups. We raised $35 million for Hyperion's Fund I to change this paradigm. On average, we complete 100+ pages of deep research and strategy ideas that are shared with our founders. We also share this industry research with our LP base, which has already helped support our founders with additional capital and valuable introductions. We hold regular strategy sessions with our founders and obtain key connections that unlock new growth vectors for their businesses. Over the last 6 months, we’ve already invested $9 million behind founders across 7 companies: @FarisSbahi at Normal Computing, @isaiah_p_taylor @ Valar Atomics, Will Wilson @AntithesisHQ , @drauwsy @ Kunin, @abeirami & @aparandehgheibi @ [stealth], Charlie Cheng @ TC Lab, and Mike & Josh @ F-ADA. I'm deeply grateful to the senior leadership at Vista Equity Partners for their support, to the venture GPs who have advised us, and to the founders who chose to partner with us in the earliest days. We’re especially grateful to our limited partners, who put their trust in us at the firm's inception. Lastly, to build this firm alongside one of my closest friends and college teammates @henr56520 been a true privilege. We’re looking forward to working relentlessly for the founders we've backed and for those we’ll have the chance to support in the years ahead. hyperioncap.co

@TheEconomist just called our approach to steelmaking "more promising" than established firms spending billions. Our team crossed the Valley of Death in under three years, producing hundreds of tons annually with standard equipment and a fraction of the capital others raised.

We're going back to the fucking moon, that's why.

A gathering is forming beneath the desert. 174 feet below the surface, sound and signal take on a different shape. The first 1,000 recruits will receive priority access to the inaugural wave of tickets. Request clearance at ATOMIKAfest.com to receive transmissions + access. ☄️

ATOMIKA is an experimental, annual gathering that fuses immersive art, deep inquiry, and powerful music, set within and around a Cold War era nuclear missile silo near Roswell, New Mexico. On November 6-8, 2026, one thousand curious minds, scientists, artists, and musicians will gather across an expansive desert landscape and descend 174 feet underground for select sessions inside the restored missile complex, exploring questions about humanity's future through three days of immersive programming and live performance. Together we will transform a doomsday weapon into a hub of interstellar imagination, fostering a cross-disciplinary exploration of contact, consciousness, and cosmic culture.

Request for startups: • faster than light comms • entropy reversal • teleportation • immortality • agentic expense management for the enterprise

"One small step for Fury, one giant leap for Anduril.”

to be honest, the best part of making our wedding registry is that it has forced us to really think about what we need to make our place feel like home

“The world of deep tech is no longer two undergrads from Stanford or MIT. Most founders are in their late 30s, 40s, and 50s with long academic, industry, or defense prime backgrounds.” We spoke with Deep33’s @LiorProsor about why capital is moving into compute + energy infrastructure, and what it really takes to build in the physical layer. infinitefrontiers.io/conversations/…

America is the greatest country in the world. But we need more founders working on real problems. If you are in the early stages of building something that matters, you have to be in El Segundo.🇺🇸 Apply to the Spring Cohort in bio.  Deadline February 20th.
