Great breakdown from @observer on where energy is heading. We backed @Powerline because the future of the grid isn’t just more infrastructure, it’s intelligence. @marlonnichols 👏 observer.com/2026/03/energy…

@mpalank101 @MattPRD @benparr @OctaneAI 👏👏👏

When we backed @MattPRD + @benparr building @OctaneAI back in 2018--a full four years before ChatGPT would launch--we knew they would do something meaningful in AI, but a Reddit-like social media platform built exclusively for autonomous AI agents to converse, organize, and create content that would be sold to Meta was not on our bingo card. wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-t…

Los Angeles has emerged as one of the leading hard tech hubs in the world. This list by @nickbkim and @jdsisteron at @upfrontvc, highlights the best of LA’s aerospace, defense, and hard tech ecosystem Proud to be part of this at MaC Ventures. Read here: jacquestalk.substack.com/p/2025-la-hard…

When I first moved to Los Angeles back in 2004, like many people, I thought of LA as a one-industry town. Hollywood was everything and anything in LA. Over the past decade, I've been fortunately educated on LA's rich aerospace and defense history. Today, LA is one of the leading hard tech hubs in the world, with some of the best hard tech investors. This list, coordinated by the amazing @nickbkim + @jdsisteron at @upfrontvc is the best of the best picks from some of those top investors. I know many of these companies and their founders and they are truly extraordinary. They're doing things that are making the world a safer place and taking humanity to the next level. I'm lucky to be a part of this ecosystem and only wish I had more of these companies in our portfolio at MaC.
